Post VMware ESXi guest problem
Hello,

I have a problem with a guest Debian 5, running on VMware ESXi.

When I use the console or login over SSH some keys like the arrow keys can not be used. I have set up the German keyboard layout so that can not be the problem.

I also have searched for this problem and found some information regarding a special VMware config on the guest. All the entries refer to VMware Server, if it is also the same on VMware ESXi? Also a restart is required but I can not make a complete reboot by reason of this problem.

Have someone an idea, on which way the problem can be solved?

Does the config relate to the VMX file? If so you should be able to make it although not all options would be supported.

Hello,

sorry for the late answer.

I have created the declared config file on the guest system but the problem still occure.
It seems to be, that the solution only works for VMware Server and not for VMware ESXi.

Here is one of the links:
http://www.vmware.com/support/ws55/doc/ ... onger.html

Do you have any idea, to solve the problem on a guest system?

No, I haven't dealt with this myself. I would suggest posting here http://communities.vmware.com/community ... l/vm-guest and also take a look at sanbarrow.com.
