CHAPTER 4 Managing Virtual Machines and the VMware GSX Server Host

121

Using the VMware Management

Interface

GSX Server provides the VMware Management Interface, a Web-based management

tool that allows you to

• Monitor the state of virtual machines and the GSX Server host on which they are

running.

• Control (power on, suspend, resume, reset and power off) the virtual machines

on that host.

• Connect the VMware Virtual Machine Console to a given virtual machine, for

hands-on management.

• View details about each virtual machine, including system summary, hardware

information, any connected users and a log of recent events.

• Modify virtual machine configurations.

• Create and delete virtual machines.

• Secure console and management interface sessions with SSL (administrator and

root users only).

• Answer questions and acknowledge messages posed by the virtual machine.

In order for a user to manage a virtual machine from the VMware Management

Interface, that user must have at least read permission for that virtual machine’s

configuration file. For more information about permissions and GSX Server, see

Understanding Permissions and Virtual Machines on page 106.

To properly view the VMware Management Interface, you should ensure that style

sheets are enabled in your browser, regardless of which browser and version you are

using.

Note: If you intend to run the VMware Management Interface in Internet Explorer 6.0

on a Windows Server 2003 system, whether the GSX Server host is installed on

Windows Server 2003 or a Windows Server 2003 client machine that connects to a

GSX Server host, you need to follow some special configuration steps in order to use

the management interface. For more information, see Configuring Web Browsers for

Use with GSX Server on page 61.

The VMware Management Interface starts with a Login page, where you enter your

user name and password to log in. The Login page contains links for downloading the
