copy and paste issue in F5 LTM VM console with VMWare

I have issue to copy text from my local F5 LTM VM console with VMWare. I am able to do that with other VM in VMWare. I also checked the copy and paste setting is enabled. Any ideas why?

    I don't believe console access will allow copy and paste. I would suggest you use SSH if you wish to copy and paste stuff in and out of the command line.

    I tried to ssh but not successful with the following error. I need to enable some setting?

     

    RSA host key for 10.128.1.245 has changed and you have requested strict checking. Host key verification failed.

    What ssh program are you using? You will either need to manually trust the ssh key from the BIG-IP in that program or turn off strict key checking to accept the key presented by the BIG-IP, then you should be able to turn it back on if you so desire.
