Each VM host can be monitored and managed from a browser by making use of VMware's vSphere HTML 5 Web Client. This interface runs on the host/hypervisor directly. It can be accessed from the links below.
Host | IP Address | VM Management Link |
---|---|---|
VMHost1 | 192.168.0.33 | https://vmhost1.audina.net/ui/ |
| | https://192.168.0.34/ui/ |
VMHost4 | 192.168.0.35 | https://vmhost4.audina.net/ui/ |

For system reboots/shutdowns, make sure to follow these steps:
At system start, perform these steps:
timeclock
server, and verify apache
and PCEntry.exe
are running.Server20081
server, and verify OfficeWatch app, Unifi controller and Timeclock Middleware are running.
Note: It's possible that the network location setting is incorrect. This manifests in subtle network connectivity changes because this setting is what tells the firewall what traffic to block. It is imperative that this is set to Domain network
or Work
(not Home
or Public
). Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center
The ESXi firewall contains a number of preconfigured services that can be enabled. If the service you need to enable isn't listed there isn't an interface to do that on the vSphere Client, you must SSH into the host to add it.
Follow the instructions below or see this article on VMWare's site. Creating custom firewall rules in VMware ESXi 5.x (2008226)
To manually add a service to the firewall's list of services:
chmod 0644 /etc/vmware/firewall/service.xml
chmod 1444 /etc/vmware/firewall/service.xml
esxcli network firewall refresh
Note: This file may be overwritten on reboot.
If you have the VMware Remote Console application installed, you can access any virtual machine through a remote desktop-like interface. At the Windows Run prompt:
vmrc://[username]@[host ip]/?moid=[vm moid]
You can install the application from:
