[mdlug] ESX1 remote access to host

[gib at juno.com]

We use RDP. We also use VMware client on the desktop. Another way we connect is with Putty and SSH.  WE are trying something else but I can't remember exactly what it is called.  Something like VMRC.

I'd think it would be really great if you could come to the next (October 11th) MDLUG meeting.  Tony will be coming by after work (around 1:30 PM) to talk to us about his MUG.org topic OwnCloud.  We could call this a meeting focused on virtualization.

ESXi gurus out there..

I am setting up a Vmware  ESXi box at the college I take classes at, The
setup went fine and also the host install are fine as well.  The
question I have or at least a recommendation is how best to access the
ESXi VM hosts remotely.  We have a mix of Linux (server and Desktop) and
Windows, BSD, and a few others for the students to use in the cyberlabs
or at times remotely by other groups for things like red team blue team
games.  I know you can use SSH for the servers and teamviewer or VNC for
some of the desktops.  It it possible to access the hosts using RDP
directly to the display console kind of like you can with the virtualbox
remote option?   We mostly will access the Hosts from the Imac's we
have, we do have a few windos that students use as well in the lab.

The labs imacs and winds use virtualbox for there main vm's, the ESXi
box's are for special training of outside groups
 from time to time.


Thank all


Pat
