vmwClient

vmwClient is handy and intuitive Android application purposed for the remote, efficient and secure management of VMWare infrastructure.


Key features

•Supports vSphere 5.0
•NO ANY ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE like proxies, mediators or extra VMWare configuration is needed as vmwClient accesses VMWare instances DIRECTLY as the original vSphere client does.
•Easy to handle, informative and intuitive interface.
•Simultaneous management of multiple vCenters and standalone hosts. vmwClient can hold connection to the several servers at the same time and doesn't require performing logout when switching to another host.
•vmwClient allows to store numerous credentials and host configurations.
•Well-granulated network operations. vmwClient loads only required Inventory information and is great for intermittent and paid channel like GPRS/3G/WCDMA.

•If you have any technical problems please send an email to support@freeroam.me with the description of a bug/issue or better post it to http://www.freeroam.me/forum/ so other users will keep track of the way how to solve or walkaround it. Posting your troubles in the product reviews WILL NOT help us to fix them shortly as well as to determine if it's the application bug at all.

•Those who use ESXi instances MUST have full ESXi license from VMWare in order to let vmwClient (and ANY other 3rd party client as well) perform ANY Inventory control operations. The free ESXi license will allow only READ ONLY operations for any 3rd party client

•Datastore mount browsing tips:
  - Our client browses the Datastore mounts on ESX(i) over SSH protocol (the desktop client does it over HTTPS acting always as root), hence you have to be sure that the SSH server is running on ESX(i) and the corresponding user has appropriate rights for the operations you would like to perform.
  - It's strongly advised to use passwords at least 8 characters length.
  - NOTE: the Private Key authentication WILL NOT WORK on Android OS ver less than 2.3 (Android Platform known issue).

•We strongly advise to keep your device Wi-Fi connection UP in device sleep mode. This will allow vmwClient to proceed normally in device sleep mode and prevent any lags, data loss (pulled from the network) and usage of 3G instead of Wi-Fi.

To keep your device Wi-Fi connection up in sleep mode go to Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Wi-Fi settings then press device 'Menu' button and press 'Advanced'. Set Wi-Fi sleep policy to 'Never'.
