The System Information section shows some more host related information with things like the current date/time and BIOS version. A strange combination of information to be sure.

The Configuration sections displays the ISO image used to install ESXi, the HA state and shows whether vMotion is supported. On the next two tabs we have Configuration and System Information.

WeвЂ™ve got host resources and utilization, license mode, ESXi image, hardware specifics and even a performance summary.ДЄs we dig into the Hardware tab here we have all of the hosts information including CPUs, Memory, basic networking andВ storage. Once logged in weвЂ™re presented with a somewhat familiar looking interface thatвЂ™s got some handy host information displayed. Pretty basic credential promptВ along with aВ link to the documentation.

WeвЂ™re presented with the following Username and Password prompt. Instead of the vSphere C# client we now have to open a browser and enter the hosts IP address. Once it is installed we immediately have to change our workflow. Nothing new to see there so no point showing it.

A quick series of F11вЂ™s and Enter keys and ESXi is installed, a quick reboot and enter some IP Addresses and youвЂ™re done. I wonвЂ™t bore you with the ESXi install onto the server. IвЂ™ll be following up with an article detailing what it looks like configuring ESXi 6.5 using the VMware Host Client by connecting to a network, adding storage and creating a VM. In this article IвЂ™m going to focus on the look and feel as well as detail a few new features and the layout. If you were wondering, once youвЂ™ve installed ESXi 6.5 onto your server you can still use the old vSphere 6.0 C# Client to connect to the host and do basic management of it, but whereвЂ™s the fun in that? Whatever you want to call it, the VMware Host Client is the new way to configure or manageВ a host once youвЂ™ve installed ESXi onto your server hardware. IвЂ™ve heard/read it called the ESXi Host Client, vSphere Host Client and just theВ Host Client. So I actually went to the documentation for the proper name of the VMware Host Client. IвЂ™ll beВ covering as many new components and features of vSphere 6.5 as possible here so sit back and enjoy!

See the two vSphere Blog posts about RSA SecurID setup for details. If the Platform Services Controller isД¬onfigured to point to the RSA server, and if RSA SecurID Authentication is enabled, users can log in with their user name and token. Only users who have both the physical card and the PIN thatДЇor RSA SecurID authentication, your environment must include a correctly configured RSA Authentication Manager. The user selects a certificate, and is prompted for a PIN. For such deployments, only smart cardД¬ertificates are presented to the user. The administrator can deploy the PKI so that the smart card certificates are the only client certificates that the CA issues. Smart card authentication allows access only to users who attach a physical card to the USB drive of the computer that they log in to. The two-factor authentication methods are often required by government agencies or large enterprises.
