VMware GSX Server Administration Guide
The differences you experience include:
• Snapshots are unavailable on a VirtualCenter client. Snapshots are not
available when you connect to a GSX Server virtual machine from a VirtualCenter
client. If you take a snapshot of a GSX Server virtual machine when you connect
to the virtual machine with a VMware Virtual Machine Console, then later
connect to the virtual machine from a VirtualCenter client, the snapshot still
exists.
You cannot update, remove or revert to the current snapshot, or take a new
snapshot when you connect to the virtual machine from a VirtualCenter client.
When you connect to the virtual machine with a console, you can interact with
the snapshot again.
• Virtual machines created from a VirtualCenter client run as a specific user
account.
A virtual machine created from a VirtualCenter client cannot be
configured to run as the user that powers it on. You supply the user account
information when you add the GSX Server host to VirtualCenter.
• Virtual machines created from a VirtualCenter client are not private. To
make the virtual machine available only to the VirtualCenter user account,
connect to the virtual machine with the VMware Virtual Machine Console and
change the setting there. For information, see
Only You Can See Virtual Machines
You Create on page 116 .
• You cannot specify a name for virtual disk files when you create a virtual
machine from a VirtualCenter client
. The virtual disk files use the virtual
machine name as the basis for the filenames. You can use the VMware Virtual
Machine Console to create more virtual disks with filenames that do not reflect
the virtual machine name.
• Virtual machines can only use the DVD-ROM/CD-ROM drive on the GSX
Server host.
To use the client DVD-ROM/CD-ROM drive on a remote system,
connect to the virtual machine with the VMware Virtual Machine Console.
• You cannot browse a remote file system when connected to the virtual
machine from a VirtualCenter client.
You need to know the path to a file —
such as an ISO image — and must enter it manually.
