Access to VMware host without VMware Sphere client.

[Upinflamezzz]

Hello,

      I have a simple question. As of now I have VMware set up on two different physical machines. Each machine manages 3 VM (servers). I usually have to use the VMware Sphere client to access the host then get into the VM consoles or I can just RDP into the VM's. My question is that when I hook up these two machines into my KVM switch monitor I only see the configuration menu. Is their a way to set it up to see the same thing as if I were using the VMware Sphere client software? All I see are configuration menu's. Thank you for your help.

You can use vCenter server for managing more than one ESXi hosts together.

You can install that as trial software for 60 days. There is no other way to managing ESXi hosts together.

VMware vCenter Server Virtualization

Unfortunately there's nothing like the vSphere Client GUI for the ESXi console. IIRC Hewlett-Packard offered something like this in the past, but only for the classic ESX with the Service Console, i.e. not for ESXi.
