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
● Upgrading OpenManage Integration Plugin from 2.0 Version to the Current Version
● Migration Path to migrate from 2.x to the Current 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>.
Configuring Network Settings
Changes to the network settings are done in the vSphere Client Console.
1. In vSphere Web Client, in the Navigator, select vCenter.
