I would like to control VM guests on ESXi by using a local VMware Workstion running on this ESXi machine
So I have made a VMworkstation9(Ubuntu12.04) VM01 guest run on the ESXi host.
I have setup a 'vncserver' on this guest VM01.
i.e. apt-get install vnc4server tightvncserver
Connect to the VNC server on VM01 from a remote machine.
Using this vnc session I then am able open up the VM Workstation Software - So I can connect to ESXi and so can connect to the its guest VMs.
Clicking on any ESXi Guest console within the VMWare Workstion software I get - HINT The X server does not support the XKEYBOARD extention. The keyboard indicator lights will not work correctly without this feature.
Unsure if this is related. But when I clicking to another VM guest console e.g. VM02 causes VNC server on VM01 crashes.
Does this make any sence?
