Hi Stuart,

This post in particular is focused ESXi not ESX at all.

I am not sure what are you missing, maybe you did not expect that VMware ESXi have a hidden Console .

Something to remember the use of this console without VMware Support instruction to do so is not supported, though every step in this article is possible to follow on ESXi & as you see in the snapshot these are ESXi snapshots.

I hope that answer your query,
Eiad
