You have to configure the VMware firewall to allow incoming ssh connections in order for this to work, but after that, you just use your ssh client to connect the host and use the same credentials you would use to access it via the vSphere client.

That's helpful to know for those without ssh access into the ESXi server or who pay attention to support warning banners displayed at login. :) Thanks for the tip.

It works, and it's so simple !! Why bother in installing lots of windows interfaces ?? Furthermore i would recommend to rename cloned disks, and editing the file with the infos on the disks correctly with changed names. Absolutely wonderful. It works, and it’s so simple !!
