No more /etc/rc.local in ESXi 7 and up, use /etc/rc.local.d/local.sh in stead

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/08/18

Where in ESXi 6.x you could change /etc/rc.local in ESXi 7 and up tightened security and now use /etc/rc.local.d/local.sh [Wayback/Archive] virtualization – ESXi 7.X file permissions – how to buypass new security measures – Server Fault

Notes:

  • some ESXi (for instance when booting from PXE do not have persistent storage)
  • be sure to always backup an ESXi configuration after changing it

Via [Wayback/Archive] “esxi 7” run your own shell scripts – Google Search
