Installing the VMware Client

 

Note  The VMware client for ESX 4i is called the vSphere Client. Although the instructions in this section refer to the VMware Infrastructure Client that is available with ESX 3.5i, all instructions also apply to the vSphere Client.

The VMware Infrastructure Client (VI Client) manages the ESXi platform. Install the client on a Windows machine with network access to the ESXi server.

1.	On the machine where you intend to install the client, open a browser and access the ESXi server using HTTPS and the management IP address you entered in the previous section (for example, https://10.15.21.100). If you see an error page, accept the server certificate.

2.	On the VMware ESX Server Welcome page, click the Download VMware Infrastructure Client link.

3.	Download and run the client installation program.
