VI client not efficient for two ESXi servers 1

[JBruyet]

Hey all,

I'm running two ESXi boxes on my network. One is for my VMware test network that sits on "The Far Side" of a router and the other sits on a box that's on my live network. I'm using my VI client software to run both boxes but it's kind of kludgy moving from one ESXi box to another. Is there a way to easily move back and forth from one ESXi box to another without installing additional software on my workstation? If I do have to install another software package what should I be looking for?

Thanks,

Joe B

Not sure i understand the problem. Why can you not just connect to both with the vi client. You can open multiple copies of the client and connect to both at the same time. Or you can buy vc server software and manage them both from one console

nhidalgo,

So I can open VI client, connect to my test network, open another instance of VI client and connect to my live network? I guess I was just a little paranoid about messing something up by "experimenting" now that things are running quite smoothly.

Thanks,

yes, not a problem

Thanks nhidalgo. This apparently was a fairly simple problem and it was fixed quite easily, but it's going to be a "tremendous" help to me so here's a star.

Thanks,
