Coming to "VMware Server Console" on the same document, re Downlaod;
I can't resolve how "to obtain the bits for the VMware Server Console. Just point a Web browser at the VMware Server, https://MGMT_NIC_IP:8333/ and the Web page that comes up will present you with a drop-down menu that lists the different versions of the VMware Server console. Select the version for Linux that is labeled "VMware Server Console for Linux (tar.gz)""
MGMT-NIC_IP is the IP address of the server. Please help me to understand what is "Just point a Web browser at the VMware Server, https://MGMT_NIC_IP:8333/".
this means if you are on the machine running vmware, open a web browser and go to https://localhost:8333/
if that machine has no gui or you need to access it from another machine open a web browser and go to https://your_vmware_machine_IP:8333/
this means if you are on the machine running vmware, open a web browser and go to https://localhost:8333/
if that machine has no gui or you need to access it from another machine open a web browser and go to https://your_vmware_machine_IP:8333/
Tks for your advice.
I have problem running;
$ telnet vmware_machine_IP 8333
Code:
Trying vmware_machine_IP...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
$ telnet vmware_machine_IP
Code:
Trying vmware_machine_IP...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
Which file shall I check and how to fix the problem? TIA
