Hi,

How do you get back to the first screen with the version number etc. from the unsupported console?

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

Excuse me, but the title says “ESXi console” but your screenshot and information only applies to ESX, no “i”
