Hello.
During the Customize settings portion, you'll configure the meat and potatoes of the VM-specifically, the resources that will be allocated to it, such as CPU, RAM, and storage space. Access your VM-console from Linux or Mac OS X with a VMware Player-console. Once your ESXi-host is up and running and you have multiple virtual machines running and maybe also vCenter deployed as a virtual appliance then you can access the console of those virtual machines with VMware Player.

Re: VMware vSphere Client For Mac OS X 10.9 8Alex8 Dec 11, 2015 4:06 PM ( in response to Jjv ) Not sure why VMware has not developed a vSphere client for MAC OSX.
It's been some time since I last used winbuilder and all the other tools referenced here in the forum.
But I am facing a difficult task and I remembered reboot.pro could have the solution to my problem.
VMware used to have a BootCD for their vCenter Converter tool but unfortunately it was discontinued since version 4.3 (current is v5.x).
I know that vCenter Converter Standalone can be installed on the any system that I wish to convert to virtual but somehow our credentials don't allow us to install software on this particular server (not even Windows updates).
Worse than that, we've been told that if we find a way to install anything on this server we will void the maintenance contract. Accounting software server. We reeeeally don't want to mess with our accounting software.
So we checked with them and they don't see any problem in converting the system to virtual.
So our only hope is to build a BootCD with network support that could run vCenter Converter 5.x.
Does anyone know how we could do that?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
VMware®vCenter Converter Standalone provides an easy-to-use solution that automates the process of creating VMware virtual machines from physical machines (running Windows and Linux) and from other virtual machine formats.
Converter Standalone eases the exchange of virtual machines among the following products:
Mac Os X Vmware Workstation
- VMware hosted products can be both conversion sources and conversion destinations.
- VMware Workstation™
- VMware Fusion Pro®
- VMware Workstation Player™
- Virtual machines running on an ESXi instance that vCenter Server manages can be conversion sources and the corresponding ESXi and vCenter Server instances can be conversion destinations.
- Virtual machines running on unmanaged ESXi hosts can be conversion sources and the corresponding ESXi hosts can be conversion destinations.
