vEMan - [v]Mware [E]SX [Man]ager provides a GUI for managing ESX servers natively from within your Linux desktop without the need to use Windows vSphere® anymore! Support vEMan development for v2.0 by gofundme! http://www.gofundme.com/vEMan Why I started vEMan? Because I hate it to start my Windows VM to manage ESX(i) servers ;o) vEMan is (maybe) not needed if you use vCenter 5.x: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2005377 --> vSphere >= v5 has a "web client" BUT keep in mind that there are caveats: Not all features are available in the web client AND it can connect to vCenters only (see: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1006095) - ESX(i) v3.x or 4.x? - v5.x - but no vCenter? - you want a native Linux vSphere client? Then try vEMan! ------- vEMan is not published or pronounced by VMware Inc. vEMan is an OpenSource project from a private person without any warranty or claim to bother VMware Inc.
