VMware GSX Server Administration Guide
What’s New in Version 3
Whether you’re a long-time power user of VMware GSX Server or a new user who is
just learning what you can do with virtual machines, the new features in VMware GSX
Server 3 extend its capabilities and make it easier to use.
Features in Version 3
Here are some highlights of key features to explore in VMware GSX Server 3:
GSX Server 3 Security Update: OpenSSL 0.9.7d Patches
Patches are available for GSX Server 3 that update the version of OpenSSL used in the
product. The new version of OpenSSL corrects security vulnerabilities and is posted
on the GSX Server Security Updates page at www.vmware.com/download/
gsx_security.html.
GSX Server 3 users are strongly urged to download and install these patches.
Enhanced Virtual Machine User Access Control
On Windows hosts, a virtual machine runs as a user. You can specify the particular user
or let the virtual machine run as the user that powers it on. For more information, see
Authenticating Users and Running Virtual Machines on a GSX Server for Windows
Host on page 108.
Improved Security for Remote Connections
SSL is enabled by default for remote connections with the VMware Virtual Machine
Console and the VMware Management Interface.
VirtualCenter Ready
GSX Server 3 is enabled for management by an upcoming release of VMware
VirtualCenter. You will be able to use VirtualCenter to manage and provision virtual
machines on multiple GSX Server hosts, then migrate the virtual machines between
other GSX Server and ESX Server systems under VirtualCenter management.
New VMware Virtual Machine Console
Connect to and manage virtual machines with the VMware Virtual Machine Console,
which combines the best abilities of the local and remote consoles in one application.
Create and configure virtual machines locally and remotely. Connect to virtual
machines from the local server or remote client at the same time, while other
consoles are already connected. Run virtual machines in full screen mode locally and
remotely.
