Description

HCI supports operations such as creating, deleting, starting, shutting down, suspending, restarting, powering off, and opening the console for VMware.

  2. To open the console of the VMware virtual machine, you need to install the VMware Remote Console tool.
  3. To create a new VMware virtual machine on the HCI platform, you need a corresponding virtual machine template on the VMware vCenter.
