Where to find it in VMware vSphere Web Client - A technical walkthrough...

$
0
0

Da ich immer wieder in Kunden- und Schulungssituationen festgestellt habe, dass sich vor allem langjährige vSphere Administratoren schwer tun, gewisse Schalter und Funktionen im neuen vSphere Web Client 5.x zu finden, möchte ich in diesem Artikel die meines Erachtens wichtigsten Funktionen und Einstiegspunkte des Web Clients an Hand von Screenshots aufzeigen. Er dient als "Where to find it", als Einstieg für Administratoren, die sich zum ersten Mal mit dem Web Client auseinander setzen bzw. als kleines "Nachschlagewerk" bevor man lange in den Tiefen des Web Clients suchen muss.

 

Auf Grund der Masse an Screenshots (ca. 70 Stück) habe ich die Screenshots  (für eine bessere Suche) in folgende Kategorien unterteilt:

  1. WebClient & vCenter
  2. Cluster
  3. Host
  4. Network
  5. Storage
  6. Virtual Machines

 

Enjoy...
