Connecting to Virtual Machines and GSX Server Hosts Connecting to Virtual Machines and GSX Server Hosts
This section covers the following topics:
  • Connecting to a Virtual Machine from a Windows Host or Client
  • Connecting to a Virtual Machine from a Linux Host or Client
  • Connecting to a Virtual Machine from the VMware Management Interface
  • Connecting to a Different GSX Server Host
  • Connecting to Older GSX Server and ESX Server Systems and Older Virtual Machines
    • If you need to view a particular virtual machine's desktop, you can launch the VMware Virtual Machine Console and connect to the virtual machine.
    Note: If you are connecting an older version of a console to the server, you need to select the virtual machine after you connect to the server host. VMware recommends you update the console on this client. You can download the appropriate installer on the Login or Status Monitor page of the VMware Management Interface. See Downloading the VMware Virtual Machine Console.
    Netscape and Mozilla users must define a MIME type for the console first; Internet Explorer is automatically configured when the console is installed. For more information, see Setting a MIME Type to Launch the VMware Virtual Machine Console.
