Gone are the management efficiencies of the Windows C# client and in its place is the slowness, vulnerability and frequent crashes associated with the Web Client. The VMware vSphere Web Client is the much-disliked flash-based console/client that is the only complete management interface available in vSphere 6.5.

The VAMI provides basic and advanced Appliance Management capabilities such as: To access VAMI for VCSA 6.5 use either IP or hostname at with the username root and root user password. The VAMI for VCSA 6.5 in an in-band console, and can only be used if the operating system is up and functioning correctly. I will continue to refer to the vSAM as VAMI! While VMware has engaged in its usual practice of renaming things and now refers to the VAMi as the “VMware vSphere Appliance Management (vSAM)”, the rest of the world continues to refer to the vSAM for vCenter 6.5 as VAMI. VMware vSphere Appliance Management Interface In this example, we will search the entire /etc (configurations) folder for the IP of the VCSA In this case, we are going to search for the sftp-server path because we need to use it to re-configure WinSCP to access VCSA In this case, we are going to see how much space is being used by each sub-folder of /var Show space consumed by folder, with a maximum depth of one folder

In this case, we are going to check the utilization of all disks and partitions In the BASH shell using either the VMRC or SSH console, there are a few commands that stand-out above others as useful. NOTE: if you get “Connection Refused,” enable SSH using the VAMI, as described in the next sectionĪfter you login with the root user and password, you will have options to run API commands directly or start a BASH shell. To access VCSA with SSH, start Putty or your favorite SSH client and enter the IP or hostname of your VCSA. With the main disadvantage being, should there be a critical system issue or purple screen, in band connectivity using SSH will not be possible

Typematic issues (repeated keystrokes) avoided.

Cut & paste functionality available in Putty and most SSH client programs.

To access the VMRC of your VCSA, open either the Embedded Host Client to the ESXi currently hosting your VCSA ( ) or the Web Client itself ( ), and right-click on the VCSA instance to choose “open Console” Open VMware Remote Console VMware Remote Console LoginĪfter you login with the root user and password, you will have options to run API commands directly or start a BASH shell. The VMRC is an out-of-band console, meaning that if the VCSA has failed to boot or experienced a critical system issue (like a purple screen), then you will see that in the VMRC window and be able to react accordingly. Use the VMRC of the VCSA to access the Appliance Shell, and allows you to start a BASH shell for systems management. The VCSA has a VMware Remote Console, just like any other VM.
