VMware GSX Server Virtual Machine Guide
Connecting to Virtual Machines and GSX
Server Hosts
This section covers the following topics:
• Connecting to a Virtual Machine from a Windows Host or Client on page 107
• Connecting to a Virtual Machine from a Linux Host or Client on page 110
• Connecting to a Virtual Machine from the VMware Management Interface on
page 111
• Connecting to a Different GSX Server Host on page 112
• Connecting to Older GSX Server and ESX Server Systems and Older Virtual
Machines on page 113
If you need to view a particular virtual machine’s desktop, you can launch the VMware
Virtual Machine Console and connect to the virtual machine.
Note: If you are connecting an older version of a console to the server, you need to
select the virtual machine after you connect to the server host. VMware recommends
you update the console on this client. You can download the appropriate installer on
the Login or Status Monitor page of the VMware Management Interface. See
Downloading the VMware Virtual Machine Console in the VMware GSX Server
Administration Guide.
Netscape and Mozilla users must define a MIME type for the console first; Internet
Explorer is automatically configured when the console is installed. For more
information, see Setting a MIME Type to Launch the VMware Virtual Machine Console
in the VMware GSX Server Administration Guide.
