How can I check if the Managed Object Browser (MOB) service is enabled in the ESX host?
- Connect to the host using the ESXi Shell.
- Determine if the managed object browser (MOB) is enabled, by running the following command:
vim-cmd proxysvc/service_listIf the service is running, the following text appears in the list of services:...serverNamespace = '/mob',accessMode = "httpsWithRedirect",pipeName = "/var/run/vmware/proxy-mod",...
- If the service is not running, enable MOB service using the following command:vim-cmd proxysvc/add_np_service "/mob" httpsWithRedirect /var/run/vmware/proxy-mob
- To disable the MOB service, use the following command:
vim-cmd proxysvc/remove_service "/mob" "httpsWithRedirect"
For ESXi 6.0 and above:
The MOB service is disabled by default. So when you try to access the MOB url of ESX host, the output should look like this:
You can enable MOB service from the VSphere client (or) ESXi shell.
From VSphere Client:
- Connect to the ESX host via VSphere client version 6.
- In the Configuration tab, go to Software and then Advanced Settings.
- Enable the Config.HostAgent.plugins.solo.enableMob check box and click ok.
From ESXi Shell:
- Connect to the host using the ESXi Shell.
- Check the ESXi Advanced Setting using vim-cmd as follows:
vim-cmd hostsvc/advopt/view Config.HostAgent.plugins.solo.enableMob
The Output should look like this:
Configuring the ESXi Advanced Setting to true:
vim-cmd hostsvc/advopt/update Config.HostAgent.plugins.solo.enableMob bool true
