If you use VMware ESXi you may wanna use the console to active SSH or maybe install HP Managment Tools (could also be any other management softtware). You don’t really need to do that on ESXi but its good to know that this is working.

  • First press ALT+F1
  • Now type unsupported (you don’t really see any thing) now hit the ENTER key
  • WOW you are in the console now ;-)
