## vCenter
|
|
|
|
### Add static routes
|
|
|
|
vCenter servers use `systemd-networkd` for network configuration. To add static routes edit `/etc/systemd/network/10-eth0.network` and add the following:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[Route]
|
|
Destination=<subnet>
|
|
Gateway=<nexthop>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## ESXi 6.X
|
|
|
|
### Re-enable user in lockout mode
|
|
|
|
If you enabled lockout mode in vSphere then inputing the wrong password multiple times puts your user into lockout mode. It is locked for a period of time (at most 900 seconds). Each following login - even correct ones - resets the timer.
|
|
|
|
To re-enable to user you need console access (by standing in front of the machine or some sort of remote console, e.g. HP iLo or Dell iDrac):
|
|
1. Press `ALT+F1` to change from the DCUI to the ESXi shell
|
|
2. Log in with an administrative user (even if this one is locked)
|
|
3. Run `pam_tally2 --user <username>` to see the number of unsuccessful logins
|
|
4. Run `pam_tally2 --user <username> --reset` to reset this number
|
|
5. Now you should be able to login using SSH or the web frontend
