Hello vmware Community,
Currently I use the "VMware ESXi 5.1.0" Server in a external testlab. It's possible to enter the console from the virtual machine "machine01" out of the ESXi-CLI?
Thanks in advanced for your help.

I do not think if there is such option to open VM console from esxcli.
Yep. I know. 😕

I mean rather like this one:
This (the picture) is the esxi-console. I will start the console from the virtual machine out of this (above) console.
Hello Toorms,
The Console functionality to view and administer a Guest OS of a VM comes only with the vSphere Client (aka Thick Client) or the Web Client including the HTML5 version.
Unfortunately, from the ESXi Shell this function is not available.
Kind regards,
Pablo
