Esxi 6 Web Interface Url

Name Version Vendor Summary Category Severity Bulletin; esx-base: 6.0.0-3.18: VMware: Updates the ESX 6.0.0 esx-base: bugfix: important: ESXi601-BG. Starting the SSH service via the vSphere/ESXi web management interface. Once the SSH service has been enabled, log on to the ESXi server in question over SSH, typically by running ssh root@IPADDR where IPADDR is the address of the vSphere/ESXi host you would like to upgrade. Note:- Starting with vSphere 6.x, account locking is supported for access through SSH and through the vSphere Web Services SDK. The Direct Console Interface (DCUI) and the ESXi Shell do not support account lockout.

The ESXi Embedded Host Client is a native HTML and JavaScript application and is served directly from your ESXi host! It should perform much better than any of the existing solutions.

Please note that the Host Client cannot be used to manage vCenter.

We welcome any feedback and bug reports. You can post your feedback here on the VMware Labs site, in the VMware.com community forums, or using the Host Client's built-in Feedback tool under the Help menu.

Download the VIB here. If you are looking to automate installation of the latest VIB, we also provide a copy of the latest VIB here.

Known Issues

• On hosts using ESXi 6.0 Update 1 or lower and ESXi 5.5 Patch 8 or lower which are assigned a VMware vSphere Hypervisor license (the free license from VMware.com), all modification operations will fail silently. This issue has been resolved in ESXi 6.0 U2 and 5.5 Patch 8.
• Hosts with ESXi 6.0 before Update 2 which have a sub-domain name with a combined cookie size of >8KB in-browser web console sessions may fail to initialize. A workaround is to clear cookies or run the host client in an incognito-type window, or alternatively, use the standalone VMware Remote Console application.
• For ESXi 5.5 hosts, in-browser consoles are not supported. Please use VMware Remote Console (VMRD) to access guest VM consoles.
• For ESXi 5.5 hosts before Update 2, you must ensure to append a trailing / (forward slash) to the URL after /ui. The URL must be https://<esxhost>/ui/

What's missing?

The Embedded Host Client is currently undergoing development. We are working hard to bring the functionality level to that of the vSphere Client, but we're not there yet. Here's what we know is missing:

• Resource pool management
• Comprehensive performance chart UI with access to all performance counters
• Exporting performance counter data to Excel/CSV
• Multi-NIC vMotion configuration
• Deploying VMs from a URL
• Exporting VMs to an OVA

Offline Bundles

Offline bundles are packages that can be loaded into VMware Update Manager to facilitate easy installation of the Host Client onto a cluster of ESXi Hosts

VMware Remote Console VIBs

Installation of the VMRC VIBs is optional and intended to facilitate downloading VMRC in situations where access to VMware.com is not possible. The VIBs are installed into the /locker partition of your host's locally attached disk. This partition has limited space, and so care should be taken to ensure that sufficient space is available. Each VIB is roughly 20 MB in size.

Open source disclosure

We provide an open source disclosure package for the required packages.

A complete open source disclosure can be found in the About dialog of the Host Client.

Feedback

We welcome any feedback or bug reports. Please post here in the Comments or Bugs tab or in the VMware Technology Network community forum.

You must have a web browser installed with JavaScript and cookies enabled.

Installation

The easiest way to install a VIB is to download it directly on the ESXi host. Alternatively, you can download it to your local machine and use scp to push it to your ESXi Host.

If your ESXi host has internet access, you can install directly from URL.

where <URL> is the URL to the VIB from the VMware.com Flings website or somewhere you have locally hosted it.

If the VIB installation completes successfully, you should now be able to navigate a web browser to https://<esx ip or hostname>/ui and the login page should be displayed.

If you have downloaded the VIB to your local machine, you will need to push it to ESXi using scp.

You may need to clear the cache in your browser to see the updated version.

To remove the ESXi embedded host client from your ESXi host, you can use esxcli.
