VMware Infrastructure Client 2.5

VMware Infrastructure Client (often called the VI Client) is a legacy Windows-based management console used to administer early VMware Infrastructure and vSphere environments. It connects to a vCenter Server or directly to ESX/ESXi hosts, enabling administrators to provision, monitor, and manage virtual machines and the underlying compute, storage, and network resources from a single interface. Although it has been superseded by newer vSphere clients, it remains useful for maintaining older VMware deployments.

Key capabilities:

• Create, configure, power, and delete virtual machines and templates
• Take and manage snapshots; clone and migrate VMs (including vMotion/Storage vMotion with appropriate licensing)
• Configure clusters, resource pools, DRS, and HA settings
• Manage datastores and storage adapters (VMFS, NFS, iSCSI)
• Set up and modify virtual networking (vSwitches, port groups, VLANs)
• Access detailed performance charts, tasks, events, and alarms
• Provide remote console access to guest operating systems
• Enforce role-based access control and permissions

Note: VMware Infrastructure Client is designed for older VMware releases. For modern environments, use the current vSphere Client (HTML5) or the ESXi Host Client.
