So, we have two servers running ESX Standard, and we use the VI client
to manage those servers (along with some judicious use of ssh).
If I fire up a machine running the free ESXi, will the VI client allow
me to manage it, or will I need the VMWare Server Console, which I use
to manage my free installation of VMWare server for my desktop use?
I'm looking at this page:
http://www.vmware.com/products/esxi/features.html
and it looks like it's basically the same as the ESX Standard that we
paid a fair amount for about a year ago.
Now it's free.
Wow.
