vCenter Server 恢复
@2014-05-04 新版功能: 创建
由于停电或其他原因导致的 vCenter Server 非正常关机后，使用 vSphere Client 连接时总是会出错。一个快速解决办法如下：
- 登录 https://vcenter.xxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx:5480/ ，确认 Server 的运行状态 应该是 Stopped。
- 选择 Utilities 处的 “Setup wizard”，单击 Launch，如果之前没有特殊配置则全部 按缺省配置完成该过程。该过程的最后阶段会重新启动 Server 成功。
- 通过 vSphere Client 连接，应该可以成功。vCenter Server 的许可证可能需要重新 关联。
ESXi¶
@2014-05-15 新版功能: 创建
在 @2019-02-13 版更改: 增加更多命令及示例
通过 ssh 登录到 ESXi 系统后, 可以通过 passwd root 来修改密码
配置 SSH 公钥登录，可能需要修改 SSHD 配置文件并重启 SSHD 服务以允许 root 登录：
- ESXi 5.0, 修改文件 /etc/ssh/keys-<username>/authorized_keys
很多命令的 -h 都包含了详细的例子。
