Setting a MIME Type to Launch the VMware Virtual Machine
Console
From the VMware Management Interface, you can connect to a virtual machine from
a console by clicking the terminal icon ( ) for that virtual machine. Before doing so,
Netscape and Mozilla users need to define a MIME type of x-vmware-console
and associate it with the console program file. Internet Explorer is automatically
configured when you install the console.
The procedure for setting a MIME type for the console is similar for Windows and
Linux hosts. Both involve writing a short script that provides the command to launch
the console.
You can choose to launch the console that was installed with GSX Server or you can
launch the console that was installed from a file downloaded from the management
interface.
