vSphere client as Linux

• You cannot use vSphere client to change the settings of the virtual machine v10 or more

  Hello

  I just downloaded new version of Kali Linux to do some tests with my free version of ESXi update 5.5 2, the problem is that I can't change the settings of the virtual machine in vSphere Client.

  It's so good because of the independence of Web OS Client vSphere but what about the free version? Everyone knows you need a vCenter running successfully and a license for the vSphere Web Client.

  There is no free version of VMWare vCenter.

  Nice day.

• vSphere 5.5 Linux Appliance LDAP

  Hello

  I have a question about VCLA (vSphere 5.5 Linux Appliance) and LDAP.

  We need to connect our vCenter Linux Appliance in our LDAP server.

  : Q1 I need a SSO or can I configure vCenter to use LDAP without an SSO?

  Q2: If I need a SSO is the delivered device one?

  Q3: If so. Document of the witch describe? I can't find a suitable doc

  Thank you very much!

  Q1: Is the point where the standards body will be installed or enabled for the VCSA?

  This is where you set up if you plan to use the on-board SSO or an external SSO. If you select incorporated, simply provide the password for authentication ONE Admin account [email protected]. Once registered, the first part of the SSO is made. Then, you must sign to vSphere Client Web https://VCSAIP:9443 using the [email protected] and configure the Sources of identity (this is the configuration of how SSO will connect to your LDAP server). A lot of articles out there, here is a Howto : AD authentication in vCenter SSO 5.5 | Virten.NET

  

  Q2: If Yes? Why do I need a--> 'account with the right to register with the SSO Server vCenter '.

  This is necessary only if you have an existing instance of SSO and want to use it for your vCenter server.

  Hi Castillo,

  Welcome to the VMware forums.

  Unfortunately, he is there a client not pay the Unix and Linux. It is available for Windows. There is a Web client but it doesn't install on the vCenter (see this KB for more info: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1006095 ).

  One solution could be to move a Windows VM on your Mac and administer your ESXi from this machine. If your server is a production machine, not just for testing, you can also take a look at VMware Go. It is a service in the cloud.

  Good luck!

• How to change the IP address for the virtual using Vsphere Client computer?

  Hello

  I have Esxi 5.0.0 and using the client vsphere 5.0.0 and deployed a VM with Centos 5.6.

  Can I change Ipadress assigned to the virtual computer that is already installed?

  Could you please let me know in detail of the measures to be executed in order to change the IP address if it is authorized using Vsphere Client 5.0.0

  You can take a look at this blog sound to change IP on the Windows virtual machine, probably using the CLI of power it should be possible on linux VM

• VSphere client on a server running terminal server

  Salvation; I think to offer vSphere Client access to some customers who wish to access a virtual computer a complete console.

  
  Someone at - configure a server terminal server (win2008 R2) and published the customer, so that the user can launch the vSphere client and access their virtual machine?

  As I read about it, it seems that a requirement is to have 6 Client RDP, which leaves the linux and Mac users, am I correct?
  Are there problems with it? In executing vCenter 4.1 at the moment, but will switch to the v5 this year.

  I tried to find some information about it, but can't find much.

  We provide the client vSphere (version 4.x and 5.0) on the servers Windows Terminal Server (Windows 2003 with Citrix XenApp 5.0) and it works flawlessy.

  Tested with all sorts of Citrix ICA clients, but also via RDP (including the old version of 5.1 client built into Windows XP).

  I never tested the RDP clients non - Windows, but I don't really expect any problems with them.

  Hi guys,.

  After a long day I succedfully has installed a Debain stable on the server. I still don't know what the problem is with the other images, but I can't make install.

  In any case, I have a bigger problem here. I stop the server and restarted and I got a saying pink screen among others that "no place on the disk for the image data. I read that sometimes this is due to updates, but I didn't something like this. The hard drive has more than half of available tuberculosis so I guess that I don't have a problem here.

  Hello

  Take a look at this link

  Regarding your question with other systems, in your place, I would be of the MEM test burning 24 hours, it could be a problem with memory (GROUP also in most cases caused by problems of HW)

• OVF import directly to ESXi without going through the bottleneck of Vsphere client

  I'm currently installing the OVF VMA to ESXi 4.1. ESXi is installed in a data center. VSphere client is installed on my computer at home.

  I chose the URL to install from the ESXi thought it would download directly, but no, it seems that the VSphere client wants to download and then upload to the data center via my broadband connection bottleneck domestic. I'm looking now to 233 minutes to make all this happen.

  I'm still on a learning curve steep then there may be something obvious that I missed, but is it possible that I can bypass the internet connection is slow my home computer (I only have 1.3Mbps uplink speed) and deploy the OVF directly in the data center?

  There are command line tools that I can run on, say, a VM Linux running VSphere CLI to do the same thing? I couldn't find anything in PDF files, I watched so far.

  Thank you...

  Welcome to the community,

  you do not have access to the vCenter Server? In this case, you can open a vCenter Server RDP session and run the top vSphere Client to download and import the vMA.

• Version 3.0 on 5.5 vCenter using vSphere client

  New vCenter 5.5 (build 2646482) most recent of the VMware Web site.

  vSphere client 5.5 (of course)

  Brilliant new V3.0 of OMIVV

  Installation device and registered in vCenter without error.

  Seems to work in the VMware web client (I'm still exploring). I can manually add servers iDRAC.

  Since the heavy Win32 client, I don't get the Wizard but I get an empty bar in the middle of the screen with "Error #2048" down at the bottom.

  My client is Win7 x 64 with IE10 default browser.

  Where to start?

  See you soon

  Hello Ian,

  Try the following steps:

  1. Disconnect and connect to VMware Desktop client (thick client).
  2. Go to home > hosts and Clusters > select any host Dell > click the tab "OpenManage Intégration" and wait for it to load
  3. Now, click on Home > Dell Management Center, it should work now.

  Let me know how it goes.

  Thank you

• Table of vSphere not visible from vsphere client

  I am new to vmware, so apologoes in advance for the newbie questions.

  
  It is a new HP ML350 server with 4 x 900 GB drives configured as a single raid 5 ldev. When I connect win7 via vmware vsphere client to add a data store, there is nothing to choose. Have I missed a step or something?

  OK, problem solved. To solve another problem, Support HP had me use the switch on the motherboard to reset the configuration. After the reboot, I got a data store!

• the root account not working for vSphere Client 5.5, for SSH works fine

  Hey.

  I got this:

  I can connect to vCenter 5.5 by SSH and the root user and password works fine

  I can connect to vCenter 5.5 by vSphere Client and use domain user and everything works fine

  I cant't connection 5.5 by user of vSphere vCenter Client and use of root and the password. I have information on

  "Cannot complete the connection because username or password incorect.

  IM shure I use the right password for root.

  A suggestion?

  

  Ok. Thank you community vExpert and Lukasz of my team, we found easy reason perhaps, but not at the first glance for me

  We had the installer by default "Source of identity" for Active Directory then when I used only root for connection I got the error with wrong password.

  In this possible case is just to connect to vcenter using root@localos credintials.

  

  But in addition we sam of similar mistakes inside the SSO connects:

• vSphere Client: bad user name or password

  Hello

  I'm new on the vSphere server and it seems that I made my first big mistake.

  I installed a 6 of VMware ESXi server and I am not able to connect to the admin with the vSphere Client account more.

  If I use the same credentials to log in via ssh or PowerCLI, I can connect and everything works. But when I use the vSphere client it says that the user name or password is incorrect.

  I tried to add a new user in the shell but when I try to connect with this user via the vSphere Client, I get the message that the account does not have permission to open a session.

  I also tried to use "pam_tally2 - user = root - reset" to reset the counter of failed connections, but it always says 0 failures and doesn't change anything for me.

  Change the admin password (in the shell via passwd) doesn't help either.

  Is it possible to grant permissions for connection the Client vSphere for users outside of the shell or the PowerCLI?

  Or is it possible to "wake-up" or "unlock" my admin account?

  Thanks in advance,

  DerpDerpson
