Looking For A Vsphere Client For Mac

• Specifically, determining what MAC addresses compose the vmkernel interfaces can become challenging with virtual switches provided by the host and multiple host-based network services on that switch. While this can be done with PowerCLI or SSH, I'm a fan of getting this point information in the vSphere Client.
• A tutorial on how to get mac or linux running vSphere client using Wine. I used version 5.1 of the ESXi due to hardware issues with version 5.5, but it might be possible to run version 5.5.

1. Vmware View Client For Mac

I'm running ESXi 4.1 on a Dell T110 Server I connect to ESXi using vSphere vSphere is running inside a Windows 7 VM The Windows 7 VM is running in VMware Fusion on my Mac OS X system When I'm in vSphere and I've selected a VM and I click the console tab on some systems the VM console won't release me when I press the control + command keys. PfSense (FreeBSD) and Ubuntu Server behave like this. I can't exit their console screen. I have to shut down these VM's to be released from their VM console access. Windows, Ubuntu Desktop, etc. All behave like I'd expect; When I press the control + command keys I'm released from the VM console and I'm able to navigate in vSphere. Does anyone know what might be causing this or a way around this?

Thanks in advance. I've run into something like this inside a Windows XP VM running in VirtualBox on Ubuntu. The problem can be traced back to the fact that either the virtual host or the system running the virtual host usurp one or more of the key combinations used by this 'VM' (console) running in a virtualized system. In Ubuntu, I had the 'locate mouse pointer' activated - which uses the Control key (by itself) to locate the pointer. This meant that 'control-alt' was usurped by the operating system for the mouse locator function.

Sometimes you need to find a virtual machine by MAC address. This can be very time consuming if you have to do this by hand using the VMware vSphere Client. PowerCLI can do this task for you in only a few seconds. The script presented in this blogpost will retrieve the virtual machine that has a certain MAC address.

Things improved when I shut that off. It also worked better when I used 'alt-control' (ALT followed by CONTROL - pressed and held) instead of the reverse. Look out for keys like this in the operating system and in the virtual machine host; they will supersede anything in the virtual machine.
