VMware GSX Server Virtual Machine Guide
If you are connecting to an older version of GSX Server or ESX Server, some of the
controls and functionality of the interface change to accommodate the differences
between the features available to that product. To see a list of what is different, see
Connecting to Older GSX Server and ESX Server Systems and Older Virtual Machines
on page 113.
New Menu Layouts
Menus in VMware GSX Server 3 are organized somewhat differently from those in
VMware GSX Server 2. The following table lists the locations for the most commonly
used menu items that have been moved:
Using the Home Tab
You can use the Home tab to quickly create new virtual machines, open existing
virtual machines, connect to other GSX Server hosts and set global preferences for the
current GSX Server host.
