Installing the VMware Virtual Machine Console
Installing the VMware Virtual Machine Console
The VMware Virtual Machine Console enables you to view and control GSX Server virtual machines from a remote client or on the server host. Multiple users can use the console to connect to a virtual machine from the server host or from remote clients at the same time. Use the instructions below that correspond to the operating system running on your system.
Consoles can also be launched from the VMware Management Interface. If you use Netscape or Mozilla as your browser, you need to configure the MIME type for the console. To set the MIME type, see
Setting a MIME Type to Launch the VMware Virtual Machine Console. Internet Explorer is automatically configured when you install the console software.
Caution: Do not install a console from a client installer package onto the GSX Server host. Do not download and install a console from an older version of GSX Server or ESX Server onto any client.
The following sections describe how to install the VMware Virtual Machine Console on Windows and Linux computers.
