Access ESXi virtual computers via Web access.

Hi all

I used VMWare Server 2 and like to make a desktop icon that accesses VMs via the VMWARE-VMRC. EXE plugin.  This is an attractive interface.  Is it possible to do the same with ESXi virtual machines?

Thank you

Rick

No, ESXi does not support the web management interface.  Server 2.0 does, like ESX and ESXi not.

  • Free version of ESXi can support for configuration of start and stop virtual machines via vSphere Client?

    I have read and found some documents on ESXi.

    According to the documents, I know that ESXi free version does not support some advanced virtual machine configurations and does not support write to ESXi host permission. But when I download ESXi from vmware.com, I can't find the free version. He will always be a trial of the licensed version edition because I can always do the configuration of start and stop virtual machines via vSphere Client installation. I can also run scripts (lamw) pl in vMA to stop the ESXi host (authorization to write ok?)

    Then I confused. How can I get the really free version of ESXi? Or will the free version after 60 days of evaluation?

    Start/stop above configuration is in vSphere Client via 'Configuration'-> "start/stop VM"-> "Properties"... «-> "Allow the virtual computers start and stop automatically with the system" actions setting and stop virtual machines can be configured to "comments"turn off computer"or"Suspend".» Can any body tell me if it's supported by ESXi free edition?

    Is the free version of vSphere Client too? Because when I use the vSphere Client, he told me that I have 60 days of evaluation. This confused me again. I think that vSphere Client is always free, am I right?

    Any suggestion or advice is much appreciated.  _

    Micky

    Configuration of start and stop virtual machines is available with the free version and licensed, with the free version you would be configured everything via vSphere Client, where as with a licensed version, you can optionally use scripts to configure it and also issue restarts/stops using scripts.

    Second, shutdownHostViaSOAPAPICall.pl for the version licensed and free of ESX (i), this script will work in both free and licensed because it uses direct SOAP calls emulating the vSphere Client communication. Take a look at the documentation for details, but this of course is not supported by VMware.

  • Management of VMs: Which one to use, "hosts and Clusters" or "models and virtual computers.

    Hi all

    As the subject says, when you manage virtual machines, which is better to use? Hosts and Clusters? Models and virtual computers?

    It's our facility:

    Previously we had only been using "Hosts and Clusters" manage all of our virtual machines. We organize objects of the individual within vApps and Resource Pools. We had also installation on these both parent objects permissions for who has access to what.

    Basically, we have about 12 members. Everyone has their own virtual machines that they use for training, etc. We manage centralized via AD with users and groups user access. We also have some users assigned to some hosts to maintain the level of things between the two hosts. Our license does not DRS, BTW.

    I just replaced our server vCenter in preparation for our 4.1 vSphere upgrade later this year, Yes, we are on vSphere 4.0 currently. So I went ahead and 'computers models and virtual"allowing to create user folders, gave users access and placed virtual machines of all users within these folders. (I heard recently that the use of the hosts and Clusters was semantically incorrect). Even if they have access to their folder, they cannot create a virtual machine because they cannot access a host. A computer file virtual and models can be assigned to a host?

    I didn't assign permissions to each user in order to add to each host, because I didn't want others to mess with other virtual machines. All users previously red access only, but sinc the virtual machines and templates folders are not assigned to any host, they can get in their folder to create and manage their virtual machines.

    Then, I go on this wrong all the models and virtual computers and do I just keep using our hosts and Clusters of installation above permissions groups?

    Any advice on the semantics in this would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Johnathan

    All,

    I solved my problems.

    Check book Scott Lowes ' Mastering VMware vSphere 4 "Chapter 9, he described the use of Resource Pools to the VM group under the view of the hosts & Clusters. Using the same names as the files under VMs & models and adding the same permissions, I was able to force every user to use their own folder under VMs & templates and only their Resource Pool under hosts & Clusters. So now the two views reflect the objects of each user and their access controls are correct.

    Items to remove this Lessines:

    Use Of Resource Pools under host & Clusters to manage the default host for users.

    Files under VMs & models allows you to manage virtual machines model announcement for each user (simple view).

    Thanks for the help,

  • need help! How to open a folder via web browser

    Hi all LV'ers.

    as indicated in the subject, I try to find a way to display the shared folder w / in the network of the company via web browser. is this possible? is there an easier way? I never been used FTP vi before any other vi or to deal with this situation, but I tool of web publishing successfully used to access from the front before LV remotely using "web publishing tool. BTW, im using LV 8.5.1.

    My goal for this is to let our boss to have quick access to data from excel files (w / "s" because many excellent report file is generated daily data updates) lay in the remote computer (this computer runs the LV program and we can view its façade remotely via web publishing tool (, but I also need to consult the file on this computer that contains the files). That's why im finding a way to access a specific excel file, but a specific folder. of course, we can access the folder through "my network places > entire network > microsoft windows network" If the folder is shared, but our boss is a lot easier if we LV programmers can create a button to lead automatically to the folder containing the files they need.

    I hope that someone already dealing with that can shared their solutions.

    problem solved...

    just to share with others who may encounter the same problem. the conflict is when opening a file from the remote computer (Chinese OS) w / Chinese characters in its file name with the computer that cannot recognize a Chinese police (English OS). I tried my VI (joint in the 5th msg) into the computer using the Chinese version of the OS (w / installed in LV) and it can open the Excel in remote areas with success.

    So I can change the OS version of the remote computer in English version to avoid conflicts in the future... in any case, here is the picture of the conflict. the attached VI before is OK...

  • Undetected after the fresh install ESXi virtual machines

    Hello

    I have to say I really enjoyed working with ESXi, but I run a quick question for the moment.

    I initially installed ESXi 5 on an SD card and created several virtual machines via vSphere Client Windows. Because of the card SD comes off on the reboot (using a Dell R610), I have now decided to install ESXi 5 on a USB key. However, when I open the Windows of vSphere client, I do not see the virtual machines on the host, but I see that they are always present in the VMFS data store that I created earlier. When I boot from the SD card, they appear very well.

    I have to migrate somehow?

    Thank you very much for your help!

    As this is a new installation of ESXi you can save the VMs from the data store as the inventory.xml on the new facility can be empty.

    Measures to save the virtual machine using vmx are available on Ko http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1006160

  • ESXi virtual 5.1 - nested VM have no connectivity

    I installed a VM of 5.1 within one physical host 5.1 ESXi ESXi virtual. This works very well, but inside the VM virtual ESXi have no connectivity. I can ping from physical to virtual ESXi ESXi, but not nested ESXi to VM physics.

    The virtual ESXi is connected to a port on a distributed vSwitch group. I configured the port group to enable Promiscuous Mode. Virtual ESXi and nested VM are on the same VLAN, and the VLAN is configured on Port Group settings VLAN

    I can connect to the virtual ESXi very well, but apparently not pass through to the nested VM.

    Any thoughts?

    Brilliant. Just tried this, and specifically allowing "forged passes ' fixed it. This step was not on any guides that I was following. It seems that ESXi 5.0 has these policy settings defined on refuse/accept/accept while in 5.1, these settings are configured to reject/reject/discard, so forged passes allowed by default before.

    Thank you * very * well

    The documentations are correct. Even though you may be able to create a cluster with more than two nodes, the supported limit is 2 knots.

    Should be relatively easy if you follow these steps:

    (1) stop (do not hang in the case has different chiptset between the two hosts) all running VMs

    (2) copy all of the files and folders that are there for the virtual machines that you want your host existing to the new, either to files in the existing data store or create a new data store that points to the folder heierarchy where you copy them on.

    (3) check files hard .vmx and ascii on arrival to ensure that they reflect the paths right on the new machine

    (4) in the web user interface, find the .vmx files and add them to the inventory (see screenshot)

    (5) check in the virtual machine network adapters are you like in case they are different between the two hosts

    (6) start them

    Records are a method of setting permissions in VMware vCenter. They form a triage unit and behave as a logical separation. When you first add the hosts to vCenter and you have all the files, there will be a default folder created for you as Richardsonporto mentioned.

    Later, you can create new folders and separate the virtual machine by drag-and - drop of their.
