Organize VM in folders

Ric41 — Sun, 28 May 2017 14:04:48 GMT

Hi,

I use ESXi 6.0 with a free license. I want to use folders to organize my VMs. I've already used vsphere with such organization (as attachment). But I don't have the Inventory, Inventory, VM and templates menu (it's a translation, not sure the menu names are the same). I think it's due to the fact i don't have vcenter. Is it possible to organize by folder without vCenter ?

Hello,

No, unfortunately you cannot create Datacenter or Folders without vCenter.

The best you could do for organizing would be create blank Resource Pools or change the VM names in some way.

Thanks for the answer. I'll try the resource pools.
