I'm trying to manage VMs on the local management console of an ESXi 5 host (due to a problem accessing it through VI client and needing to do some VM management prior to attempting a reboot on the host.)



I will enter a command such as:



vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms


and get this error:



Failed to login: Connection refused


I read somewhere that SSH has to be enabled in order for vim-cmd to work. I'm actually working directly on the host's terminal, not by SSH, but just in case I enabled SSH, and the same error still occurred.



How can I get vim-cmd to work in the local management console?

          check whether the 'vpxa' service is running, I had the same issue and figured out that the 'vpxa' service was stopped.
          after starting the service everything worked well.
