Understanding the vSphere Client Console
The vSphere Client Console is found within the vSphere Client on a virtual machine. The Console works hand in hand with
the Administration Console. The Console provides the ability to:
● Configure network settings
● Change the virtual appliance password
● Set the local timezone
● Reboot the virtual appliance
● Reset the virtual appliance to factory settings
● Refresh Console
● Log out from console
● Read-only user role
● Upgrade from OMIVV 3.0 version to the current version
● Migrate from older version to the OMIVV 3.1 version
Use the arrow keys to navigate up or down. Once you have selected the option you want, press <ENTER>. After you access
the Console screen, VMware vSphere Client takes control of your cursor. To escape from that control, press <CTRL> +
<ALT>.
