VMware GSX Server Administration Guide

Remote Client Requirements

The remote client is a Windows or Linux system from which you launch the VMware
Virtual Machine Console or use VMware Scripting APIs to remotely manage virtual
machines on the GSX Server host. You access the VMware Management Interface to
manage virtual machines on the host using a Web browser.

Hardware Requirements

•

Standard x86-based computer

•

266MHz or faster processor

•

64MB RAM minimum

•

20MB (for Windows hosts) or 10MB (for Linux hosts) free disk space is required for
installation of the VMware Virtual Machine Console

•

17MB free disk space is required for VMware Scripting APIs (VmCOM and VmPerl
Scripting APIs) installation on Windows remote clients; 14MB is required for
VmPerl API on Linux remote clients

Software — Windows Remote Client

•

Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition, Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition,
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition and Windows Server 2003 Web Edition

•

Windows XP Professional and Windows XP Home Edition
Service Pack 1 and Service Pack 2

•

Windows 2000 Professional, Server and Advanced Server, Service Pack 1, Service
Pack 2, Service Pack 3 and Service Pack 4

•

Windows NT 4.0 Workstation and Server, Service Pack 6a, with Internet Explorer
6.0 installed

•

The VMware Management Interface requires one of these browsers:

•

Internet Explorer 5.5 or 6.0 (6.0 highly recommended)

•

Firefox 1.x

•

Mozilla 1.x

•

Netscape Navigator 7.0

Note:

As new browser versions are released, VMware tests the management

interface for stability and reliability with these versions. We make every effort to
add support for new browser versions in a timely manner, but until a browser is
added to the above list, its use with our product is not supported. For the latest
