The platform service attempts to create a temporary account ( vxpsvc_ptagent_op ) using the esxcli system account set command. The target account vpxuser does not have shell access, causing the command to be rejected. Evidence Log entries show Caller must have shell access errors. Platform service logs contain “Access to perform the operation was denied. Only users with shell access can make these changes.” Running esxcli system account list confirms that vpxuser has shell access set to false .
Enable shell access for the vpxuser account: Run the following command on the ESXi host: esxcli system account set -i vpxuser -s true Verify that the account now has shell access: esxcli system account list
