3. In the left pane, select the IP address of the VMware ESX/ESXi Server.
4. In the right pane, click the QConvergeConsole tab to view the plug-in. The
vCenter Server Plug-in retrieves the adapter information from the server.
In the right pane of VMware vCenter, the vCenter Server Plug-in appears on the
page labeled with the tab QConvergeConsole.
To access the QConvergeConsole tab in VMware vCenter Server:
1. On a computer or server that has the VMware vSphere Client software
installed, double-click the VMware vSphere Client icon to start the
vSphere Client.
2. In the vSphere Client log-in dialog box (Figure 3-1), log in as follows:
a. To connect to multiple hosts, type the VMware vCenter Server’s IP
address in the IP address/Name box. Or, to connect to a single host,
type the host’s IP address or host name in the IP address/Name box.
b. Type your user name and password for the VMware vCenter Server in
the appropriate boxes. You can also select the Use Windows
Session credentials check box, if credentials are configured and
applicable.
NOTE
If the ESXi host does not have the QLogic Adapter CIM Provider and
adapters installed, or if the vCenter Server Plug-in installation and
registration was not successful, the QConvergeConsole tab is not
shown.
NOTE
If you start and connect the vSphere Client directly to an ESX/ESXi
Server, the plug-in does not appear.
