SDDC Manager command line history

A quick post about a small change that I noticed in the VCF 4.3 release.

The SDDC Manager command line history (a.k.a. Arrow up) seems not to work anymore in this version. Apparently, this is due to the fact that VCF Engineering has hardened the SDDC Manager security.

Enable SDDC Manager command line history

There are two ways to enable the command:

  • Temporarily, run: # set -o history
  • Permanently, remove or rename the disable.history.sh file by running: # mv /etc/profile.d/disable.history.sh /etc/profile.d/disable.history.bak

Now you should be able to use the “arrow up” functionality once again on the SDDC Manager command line.

Cheers!
