7 vSphere Web Client Plug-in
Overview
The vSphere Web Client Plug-in configures QLogic Fibre Channel Adapters,
NICs, and Converged Network Adapters using a browser within a VMware
vSphere environment. This plug-in is part of the QConvergeConsole suite of
management tools. These tools include the QConvergeConsole Web-based GUI
and the QConvergeConsole CLI, which are used in operating system
environments other than vSphere, such as Windows and Linux.The plug-in
provides an interactive GUI that is similar to the QConvergeConsole Web-based
tool.
The VMware vCenter Server 6.5 added a new HTML5 based vSphere Client.
Marvell provides the new QConvergeConsole HTML5 based vSphere Client
Plug-in (HTML5 based vSphere Client Plug-in) with the same functionality and
workflow as the vSphere Web Client Plug-in for the 578xx/41000 Series Adapters.
In this chapter, vSphere Web Client Plug-in refers to both plug-ins, unless
otherwise noted.
