Hello, I'm new to the list, but I think I might be able to help. VMWare ESX in particular has a client software (VIC) that you run in order to manage the hypervisor. You can typically download it through the web interface (<a href="http://192.168.1.10"><font color="red"><b>MailScanner warning: numerical links are often malicious:</b></font> http://192.168.1.10</a> or whatever) on the IP of the box itself, or you can get it from VMWare's website. Then use it to logon to setup new VM's or console into the VM's.<br>

Visited a new client this AM, .. they had a pretty sweet setup - 5 VMs<br>
separated into services (web, email, ..), separate physical Windoze<br>
box.<br>
<br>
They have a user & root login to the machine that responds to the monitor<br>
& keyboard, but it has no ssh key traces of connection to the other<br>
four machines.<br>
<br>
Apparently, they have a VMWare environment (recognized name over Xen or<br>
VirtualBox - the system was built two years ago), however I see no<br>
evidence OF the environment - the console is connected to the first VM,<br>
and no evidence of ssh config to the other four machines.<br>
<br>
Have not done much VMWare or bare metal virtualization myself, .. is this<br>
common in the VMWare world?<br>
<br>
Assuming there is a DOM0 in place, why would it not be connected to the<br>
console? How does one connect with the VMWare hypervisor, or to the VMs<br>
for maintenance work?<br>
