Hi Marlos,

Thank you.

Do I need to add that parameter for all the three ESX-OS/UNIX-OS/F5-OS

Thank you.

Hi Vikas,

It depends, if the target system is a UNIX server, then you just need to set the parameter into the probe UNIX-OS. If the target is an F5 Load balancer, then you need to set the F5-OS probe. If the target is ESX, then on ESX-OS.

Hi Vikas,

It looks like the password needs to be updated on the device that is generating the Warning.

Once this is done, and the password updated in the Discovery credentials table, the issue should be resolved.

It could be that the 'allow_unsupported_shells' parameter will no longer be necessary, as it could be be the invalid password on the target host is generating the "no shell detected" as it treats the failure to login in as a lack of a shell.
