Using ESXi 3.5 - How do I get larger console window

[5lbBass]

I'm using ESXi 3.5 on an HP DL 360 server. My VMWare Infrastructure client only display a very small window to work on my guest os. How do I extend my screen / make it larger?

To pop out the virtual machine console, click the pop-out icon in the navigation bar to display a copy of the Console window separate from the VI Client.

The pop-out virtual machine Console window has its own set of menu items. The embedded Console has similar menu items but does not include all the pop-out Console menu items. The pop-out Console contains these menus:

File contains only the Exit command.

View contains the following commands, which are not in the embedded Console:

Autofit Window, Fit Window Now, Fit Guest Now, Full Screen

To use all of the options Rick mentioned, you need to have the VMware tools installed on the guest OS, which I highly recommend.

Without VMware tools you would have to manually set change the screen resolution on the guest.

Depending on the guest OS you can remote desktop rather than using the console window also
