VMware GSX Server Administration Guide
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.
To download and install a console package from the Login or Status Monitor page,
complete the following steps.
1. Connect to the GSX Server host with the VMware Management Interface. For
information on connecting to the management interface, see Logging On to the
VMware Management Interface on page 131 .
2. On the Status Monitor page, download the installer by clicking the link for the
package appropriate to the operating system on which the console is to be
installed.
On the Login page, select the installer appropriate to the operating system of
the computer where you are installing the console, then click
Download .
If you are installing the console on a Linux host, you can further choose between
tar and RPM installation packages.
3. Run the installation package.
To install the console on a Windows system, see Installing the VMware Virtual
Machine Console on a Windows Host on page 70 .
To install the console on a Linux system, see Installing the VMware Virtual
Machine Console on a Linux Host on page 73 .
Customizing the Download Menu
You can customize the download menu on the Login page to suit your users’ needs.
For example, if your site uses the VMware Scripting APIs, you can add the API installers
to the download menu. Client packages containing the VMware Virtual Machine
Console and the VMware Scripting APIs are available on your GSX Server CD-ROM or
in the packages you downloaded from the VMware Web site. The client packages are:
•
VMware-gsx-server-win32-client-<xxxx>.zip
•
VMware-gsx-server-linux-client-<xxxx>.zip
You can expand these archives and place the API installer files in a readily available
area, then modify the download menu on the Login page to point to them.
You can add more files to the download menu, hide items already listed and even
hide the link or the menu itself. Click
Help on the Login page and follow the
instructions there.
