Connecting to a Different GSX Server Host
Each VMware Virtual Machine Console can connect to one GSX Server host at a time. If
you need to connect to a virtual machine on another host, you can launch another
console and connect to any virtual machine on the new host. Or you can switch hosts
in the same console window. To switch hosts from a console, complete the following
steps.
1. From a VMware Virtual Machine Console, choose Host > Switch Host. The
Switch Host dialog box appears.
2. Choose whether to connect to the local host or another GSX Server host.
• To connect the console to a virtual machine on the local host, select Local
Host then click OK.
Note: If you are connecting to the host from a client, you cannot choose
between the local or a remote host, as you can connect only to a remote host.
• To connect to a virtual machine on another GSX Server host, select Remote
Host, specify the host name, user name and password to connect to that host,
then click OK.
If you were already connected to a different GSX Server host, you lose that
connection.
