ESX 3i Time Configuration

Viktor commented on the “Loading VMware Hypervisor�? article and asked me to show more new features. Well Viktor you wish is my command

To configuring a NTP server on a “normal�? ESX server you had to logon to the Service Console and manually edit some files before you could start the NTP daemon. Well in the ESX 3i version you can all do it from within the VI Client. Cool huh. In the picture you see the dialog box where this new option can be configured. Besides this new feature you should take a look at some other extras in on the configuration tab.

Finally they put this into the VIC. Not that configuring time thru the service console is hard but this is a lot easier to maintain and you can get all the time information by a mouse click

I also see some other new features as well.

Is it possible to install some third part utilities, e.g. Dell Openmanage. I was wondering how this can be accomplished?

Yeah, and what about vRanger? Is that working?

Did a little portscan on 3i and there is no FTP and SSH. In the firewall I can't open this port and I'm wordering if there is a SC present.

VMware Infrastructure Remote Command Line The Remote Commmand Line allows you to use command line tools to manage VMware Infrastructure from a client machine. These tools can be used in shell scripts to auotmate day-to-day operations.

Well, if I understand well how ESX 3i is build up, this cannot be accomplished. It's only the vmkernel, isn't it? Without an Service Console?
