Using Local and Remote Consoles
3. Click Connect. The Connect to VMware Virtual Machine dialog box appears.
4. In the dialog box is a list of all virtual machines that are registered on the server
host, identified by their display names and paths to their configuration files. In
the list, select the virtual machine to which you want to connect and click OK.
The remote console window opens with the virtual machine in its current state
(powered on, suspended or powered off).
Starting the Remote Console on a Linux Remote Workstation
1. To start the VMware Remote Console, do one of the following:
• At a command prompt, type vmware-console.
Note: If you put the path to the configuration file in the command line, the
virtual machine opens in the remote console. Otherwise, proceed to step 2.
• In the VMware Management Interface, click the terminal icon (
) to launch
a remote console for that virtual machine. If you are connected to the
management interface in a Netscape or Mozilla browser, you must define a
MIME type and associate it with the remote console program. For instructions,
see Setting a MIME Type to Launch the VMware Remote Console on page 180.
2. A dialog box asks for the information to connect you to the virtual machine.
Enter
• The server host name (or IP address)
• Your user name on that server
• Your password
Note: VMware GSX Server connects to this server through port 902 by default; if
you want to connect to a different port, add this number after the server name.
For example, to connect to the virtual machine through port 932, you can type:
hostserver.domain 932 <path_to_the_config_file>
