Lockdown mode prevents remote personnel from logging in
to the ESXi host by using the root login name. By default, lockdown
mode is disabled. If you enable lockdown mode and do not configure
other local host user accounts to have standalone host access through
the vSphere Client, the root user does not have access through the
vSphere API and CLI.
NOTE: When you enable the
lockdown, non-VMware VIBs such as OpenManage does not work.
You can continue to access the host through the direct console or
through an authorized and centralized management application, such
as vCenter Server.
Select Configure Lockdown Mode and
press Enter.
Press Spacebar to select Enable Lockdown Mode and press Enter twice.
