+{{:public:obmvmware_cannotconnectssh.png?direct&800|}}
+===== Cause: =====
+The SSH setting is disabled on the VMware ESXi host.
+To perform a backup of guests virtual machines on a VMware host, AhsayOBM needs to login to the VMware host on ssh using the root account via port 22 (default).
+===== Resolution: =====
+To resolve this issue:
+. Enable SSH on the VMware using the following instructions [[https://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vcli.getstart.doc%2Fcli_jumpstart.3.6.html]]
+. After enabling SSH verify the setup is correct by using telnet from the AhsayOBM machine, i.e. telnet {VMware_host} 22
+**Example:** The following information will be displayed by a VMware ESXi v5.5 host if SSH is enabled in response to a telnet.
+<code>
+SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.6
+</code>
