Symptoms

When trying to start the SSH server on an ESX host using the Start and Stop manually > Start option you receive this error message from vCenter:

Call 'HostServiceSystem.Start' for object 'serviceSystem-9' on vCenter Server 'servername' failed

Resolution

This issue occurs if the SSH service fails to start on the host due to incorrect SSH configuration.

To resolve this issue:

Log into the host using KVM or direct to the console, using root privileges.

Enter the following command at the command prompt:

service sshd start

If the result of this command is Failed, this could be due to changes in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file.

Verify if the PermitRootLogin is set to yes and check if the line after PermitRootLogin is set to

#Strict yes

If this line is not commented, Comment this line by adding a # before the text. Also check the other lines and see if there are any other lines with error in the logs; correct these values and restart the SSH deamon by running the command:

service sshd start

If the service is starts successfully, return to vCenter > Security Profiles > click Refresh to change the status from Stopped to Running.
