vSphere Client Interfaces 2
You have several ways to access vSphere components through vSphere interface options.
vSphere interface options include:
vSphere Client
A required component and the primary interface for creating, managing, and
monitoring virtual machines, their resources, and their hosts. It also provides
console access to virtual machines.
The vSphere Client is installed on a Windows machine with network access to
your ESXi or vCenter Server system installation. The interface displays slightly
different options depending on which type of server you are connected to.
While all vCenter Server activities are performed by a vCenter Server system,
you must use the vSphere Client to monitor, manage, and control the server.
A single vCenter Server system or ESXi host can support multiple,
simultaneously connected vSphere Clients.
vSphere Web Client
The vSphere Web Client is a Web application installed on a machine with
network access to your vCenter Server installation. In this release, the
vSphere Web Client includes a subset of the functionality included in the
Windows-based vSphere Client, primarily related to inventory display and
virtual machine deployment and configuration.
vSphere Command-Line
Interface
A command-line interface for configuring an ESXi host. The vSphere
Command-Line Interface can also be used to perform Storage vMotion
operations on both ESXi hosts.
See Chapter 10, “Starting and Stopping the vSphere Components,” on page 105 for information and
instructions about starting and stopping ESXi hosts and vCenter Server.
