Can't boot system as genuine NUMA.

Installed ESX 4.0.0 as a virtual machine running under VMware Workstaion. After installation had completed and the ESX VM had restarted the following error was shown on the ESX console:
TSC: 54361147 cpu0:0)NUMA: 706: Can't boot system as genuine NUMA. Booting with 1 fake node(s).

Although this didn't seem to cause any issues with the VM, I don't like red error messages. Found the following solution to clear the error.

> Open vSphere Client.
> Select the ESX Server and choose the Configuration tab.
> Under Software, click Advance Settings
> Select VMkernel
> Scroll down and clear the selected option VMkernel.Boot.useNUMAInfo

The ESX server requires a restart for the change to come into play.

Enable SSH access to ESX for root user

SSH access for the root user is disabled by default in ESX 4. To allow SSH access for the root user you will need to make a change to the sshd_config file. This will need to be done via the ESX server console.

- Open the ESX Console (press Alt-F1)
- Login as root
- Edit ssh_config: nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
- Change the line: PermitRootLogin no
- to: PermitRootLogin yes
- Exit and save changes
- Restart the sshd service: service sshd restart
