I have been working with VSAN in the lab recently and had the need to get some deeper stats on the inner operations.

I had upgraded the lab to ESXi 6.0 U1 and vCenter 6.0 U1 and for the life of me couldn’t get the RVC console in the VCSA to work per the VMware KB.

In particular it just wouldn’t log in with this line, even with the correct password:

and this didn’t work either:

Then I had a sort of epiphany, what if I append the SSO domain to the start and target it at the localhost?

Sure, it looks janky, but it worked!

It appears to need the SSO domain (whatever yours is – could obviously be different from the vsphere.local default) appended to the username then target the rvc at localhost.

Hope this helps, had me stumped for a bit for sure!
