Did you check the "/etc" directory of state.tgz? Like "/etc/sysconfig/" or "/etc/network/"?

After I extraced the files, I did not find any files in /etc also /etc is empty.
That is ESXi 4 and it is different with 3

Don't use ESXi, but looking at the output and what Yonatan said, sda4 seems the /boot and syslinux.cfg will have the commands for booting the system. Probably referring to the ".tgz" files on sda5.

A quick Google turned up this: http://www.vm-help.com/esx/esx3i/Res...t_password.php -- it's for ESX 3, but it seems to have the same layout as you've shown. And though it speaks of resetting the password, I'd be willing to bet the network configuration can be found in the same "state.tgz" file as well.

Thank you,

Yes I have checked all of the files, and none of them was the network configuration. I have to change the network configuration. not the server password.

From what i have understood, you untargzip it edit the targzip it back and reboot.

but still, they want money for support with esxi so we are alone in this case unless you pay them, or play around with the system files ...

I vote for proxmox or xen

one of the partitions should contain "tar" files with the configuration.
try playing around there, i did not manage to find documentation about this.

Thank you for replying.

Yes I know how to do that. Look at the list of Partitions :

root@rescue:~# mount /dev/sda
sda sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4 sda5 sda6 sda7 sda8

I have check all of them, but none of them is the mail partition, also I think it should be a bit different with normal linuxes. isnt it?

You should be able to mount the partitions manually when running rescue mode.

Hello,

One of my users has misconfigured his server, which is installed ESXi on that. He has change his Main Server Network, and we are not able to correct this. Because on the Rescue modus we can not access to the main server files. There are 8 Partitions in rescue modus, but none of them is the main partition. I have tried to start the server in vKVM modus to correct this problem but ESXi won't be loaded on vKVM, because of CPU ( vKVM is not main cpu, it is virtual cpu ). Also what do you think? What can we do for that?

Can one of OVH technical correct this issue direct from the server?
