No need -

You can download a 30 day trial from citrix.com and deploy on esxi server

I have done this countless times to get engineers up to speed in client sites.

The two in a pair are a great cbt!!!

You can ssh to them, type "shell" and be on bsd to gather logs run those commands from the link I sent and generally do 90% of your work in the web gui

I only ssh in to deal with ssl certs and even now less and less.

Let me know If you need remote access to a pair of them in our cloud I can expose on the internet for you.

Thanks!
