An administrator needs to manage a virtual machine that cannot be accessed directly from an external network.
Which solution should the administrator choose?
A. Power off the virtual machine and use the vSphere Web Client to open a console to the virtual machine.
B. Install the Client Integration Plug-in in the Web browser and open a console to the running virtual machine.
C. Install the DCUI plug-in in the Web browser and open a console to the running virtual machine.
D. Power off the virtual machine, install the Client Integration plug-in, and open a console to the virtual machine.
Correct Answer: B
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
With the vSphere Web Client (connected to an ESXi host or vCenter Server), you can access a virtual machine’s desktop by launching a console to the virtual machine. From the console, you can perform activities in the virtual machine such as install an operating system, configure operating system settings, run applications, monitor performance, and so on.
The Client Integration Plug-in and VMRC stand-alone application helps you connect virtual devices to the virtual machine and view the console in full screen mode.
Prerequisites
If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer, verify that the Client Integration Plug-in is installed.
Verify that the virtual machine has a guest operating system and that VMware Tools is installed.
Verify that the virtual machine is powered on.
Incorrect Answers:
A: The virtual machine needs to be powered on to access the console from the Web Client (with the Client Integration Plug-in installed).
C: You need to install the Client Integration Plug-in, not the DCUI plug-in.
D: The virtual machine needs to be powered on to access the console from the Web Client with the Client Integration Plug-in installed.
