I don't think that is possible and I don't hope it iwll become possible. sounds like someone wants to have a private vm that his admin-co-workers shouldn't see Smiley Wink

Disculpa no he leído tu pregunta bien… ya sabes después de la comida …tengo sueño

No hay una manera de ocultar una máquina virtual, pero si cambiar los permisos y dar permisos quien quieres.

logon to your ESX via SC and enter the following command *vmware-cmd -l

*

that will return a list of the VMs registered with your ESX server. if you do not find the server in the list then look for the VM with the following command: find / -iname '.vmx'

*

once you ahve the location of your VM then register it with the ESX server: *vmware-cmd -s register "full path to VM.vmx"

*

If you find the VM with the command vmware-cmd -l then restart the management service with service mgmt-vmware restart and log backon to your ESX with the VI client does it appear there now?
