Creating and Sharing Remote Console URLs

Using VI Web Access, you can create a remote console URL of a virtual machine by using ordinary Web browser URLs. When you create a remote console URL, you can customize the VI Web Access user interface controls, or use the remote console URL for personal use. Using remote console URLs, you can:

• Add the remote console URL to a list of favorite Web pages.
• Share the remote console URL with one or more other users in an email message.

To create a virtual machine remote console URL

1. In the status section of a virtual machine's summary, click Generate Remote Console URL.
2. Choose user interface features.

   You can disable nonessential controls permanently. This allows a remote console URL user to concentrate on using the guest operating system.

3. Capture the remote console URL for further use.
4. Click Close to return to the Summary tab.

Note: Administrators who want to test a remote console URL should do so by using another browser or computer. If the remote console URL is tested on the administrator's active browser session, all instances of the browser need to be closed before the administrator can log back in with full user interface capabilities.
