Configuring System Management Options

Although you can manage some aspects of your ztC Endurance system from a monitor and keyboard connected to the system (the local console), you typically manage all aspects of the VMware ESXi host and your virtual machines from a remote management system.

For information about configuring remote system management options for your system, see the following topics:

• Logging In to the ztC Endurance Console and Using the ztC Endurance Console

  Use the ztC Endurance console to monitor system status and manage fault-tolerant aspects of your ztC Endurance system from a remote management system.

• Configuring the BMCs for Remote System Management

  Use the BMC Web console to perform lights-out management or open a connection to the local console of the ztC Endurance system from a remote management system.

• Configuring ESXi Host Client or vSphere Web Client for Remote System Management

  Use ESXi Host Client or vSphere Web Client to configure and manage the ESXi host and its virtual machines from a remote management system.

• Configuring SSH for Remote System Management

  Use a secure shell (SSH) client to log on to the ztC Endurance Management VM (or the ESXi Shell, if enabled) from a remote management system and manage your ztC Endurance system at the command-line level.

For information about additional system management options, see the VMware vSphere documentation.
