VMware
If you are not using vCenter or only want to give a specific person access to an ESX server to do a specific task then here is how to do it...
First connect to the ESX server with VI client (it will need to have full admin right e.g. root).
I was building my VMware View lab at home and came across this error in 4.5 again:
"The View Connection Server connection failed. (null)"
Here are a number of vSphere 5 resources I am putting together on the release of vSphere 5.
How Tos:
vSphere 5 How To Part 1 Install ESXi 5.0
vSphere 5 How To Part 2 Install vCenter Server 5.0
vSphere 5 How To Part 3 Install vSphere Client 5.0
vSphere 5 How To Part 5 Install vSphere Web Client (Server)
It is possible to set virtual machines to automatically startup and shutdown with the ESX server.
You may want to do this for example in a test environment where vCenter is in a VM.
Rather than connecting to the ESX server and starting the vCenter VM then connecting to vCenter, you could connect straight to vCenter.
One of the first things you will configure in vCenter Server is
-
Create a datacenter
-
Create a HA and DRS cluster
-
Add an ESX/ESXi host
