From a.. compatible Web browser, you can use the vSphere Web Client to monitor and manage a VMware infrastructure. Before breaking the tether to the Windows-only vSphere Client, you need to first install and configure the Web Client’s components on the back end. To set up the vSphere Web Client on the server side, verify that port 9443 is open on your network between where you will run the Web Client and the vCenter Server. This port is the default, but you can set it to whichever you choose. Next, make sure you have administrator-level credentials for the vCenter Server, and then install the Web Client software. It’s available on the same installation media as the vCenter Server installer and is listed as VMware vSphere Web Client (Server). You can install vSphere Web Client either on your vCenter Server or on any server connected to the network. In my case, I installed it directly on my vCenter Server. Once you install vSphere Web Client, point the browser on your Web Client server to the vSphere Web Client Administration Tool, located at https://localhost:<9443 or whatever port you chose>/admin-app/. Next, register the vCenter Server or Servers with the vSphere Web Client. Click on Register vCenter Server to proceed. The following screen will ask for the vCenter Server name or IP address, username and password.Make sure you use an account that has administrator privileges to the vCenter Server. If you need to register additional vCenter Servers, you can do that task, as well. Unless you are using Linked Mode, the Web Client will only be able to connect to one vCenter at a time. Also, be aware that unregistering the vCenter Server from the Web Client will prevent access to that particular vCenter Server from the Web Client. To access the Web Client and log in to your vCenter Server, point your browser to https://(Web Client-hostname)(port)/vsphere-client/. Vsphere Client Download For Windows 10
Once you successfully log in, you are presented with a screen that identifies the various menus and columns of the browser-based Web Client, as shown below. In the upper-right corner, you can elect to not show this page at the startup.

Cisco UCS Manager Plug-In for vSphere Web Client enables you to register and manage Cisco UCS domains. When you install Cisco UCS Manager plug-in, register the UCS domains individually using UCS Manager user account. Depending on the UCS Manager user privileges, you used while registering the UCS domain you can perform the actions. Also, each plug-in action supports the same privileges as Cisco UCS Manager. For example, if you registered a UCS domain with admin privileges, you can perform actions on that domain using the plug-in. You can perform various actions on the servers, firmware, UCS domains, service profiles, and service profile templates. Whereas, if you registered a UCS domain with read-only privileges, you can launch Cisco UCS Manager GUI and can view the domains that you registered. When you log in to the Cisco UCS Manager plug-in, you can view the domains that you have registered. You cannot view or edit the UCS domains registered by different users. However, you can view the domains registered by other users if you have the extension privilege and the domain registered is publicly visible. For more information on each privilege and the user role given that privilege by default, see #http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/sw/gui/config/guide/2-2/b_UCSM_GUI_Configuration_Guide_2_2/b_UCSM_GUI_Configuration_Guide_2_2_chapter_01010.html#concept_055CA3D0219B44E0AA215F4F169BBB89. I've been tasked with setting up some VMs. I've been given some admin details but no further guidance. The server is a fresh install. My problem is that I'm on Linux/OSX and don't want to run Windows aside from setting up after which I hope to be able to manage things through the web client. I think there is an ESXi installation. This would be Version 6. How do I set up the web client? I've installed vSphere Client on a local Windows VM. not sure what to do with it though. The documentation is pretty awful and there hasn't been much useful info on the net. I'm really stuck as I didn't set these up and haven't used servers like this before, so I have no context or understanding of the VMWare ecosystem beyond using a virtual machine locally! (even then I've preferred Virtualbox) Any advice would be amazing p.s accessing https://[ipaddress]/vsphere-client does not work. Produces a blank browser page.. with no html served as an error

2 AnswersvSphere 6 and the Web Client can been bootstrapped without a Windows machine nowadays. Follow the official documentation or any of the online tutorials which walk you through the process. Pay attention to the sections for 'Linux deployment'. The deployment of VCSA is done by mounting an ISO! Yes. Once you mount the iso, in the root directory you’ll find a html file called index.html -:). From there it’s simple and straight forward. Oh wait, before that you must install VMware Client Integration Plugin which is located in the vcsa directory. It’s a simple exe file, (for Windows) but there is also a pkg if you’re deploying from Linux Workstation. Note that you don’t have to have any vSphere client installed to deploy the VCSA. There is also VCSA CLI Installer which is located in the second folder.

The web client is implemented thru vCenter - so planning on having a machine to run that. This machine can be either physical or a VM. You'll also have to decide if you want to use the linux-based appliance or bite the proverbial bullet and run a Windows server to use the application version. On the other hand, you might already have a vCenter installed somewhere if this is an existing installation. You should be able to point your vSphere client to your esxi hosts to see what's installed. With any luck your theoretical vCenter server might be named something obvious like 'vcenterserver'. And actually, if you have a fairly simple installation, you might find that just pointing the vSphere client to your esxi hosts is sufficient for your tasks. It won't have all the functionality of the web client, and it does require a non-linux system to run on but it's still handy for basic tasks. Hint: If you choose the appliance route, be sure to have a FQDN (including reverse lookup) setup before attempting to install it.
