You are probably using openssl version 0.9.x (which is included with esxi 5.x) where 'openssl sha1' output contains hash only:

esxi-5 # openssl version
   OpenSSL 0.9.8y 5 Feb 2013
esxi-5 # echo  aaa | openssl sha1 
972a1a11f19934401291cc99117ec614933374ce

At esxi-6 openssl output is slightly different and consists of two tokens:

esxi-6 # openssl version
  OpenSSL 1.0.2k-fips  26 Jan 2017
esxi-6 # echo aaa | openssl sha1
(stdin)= 972a1a11f19934401291cc99117ec614933374ce
