ESX Manager 2.3
Wednesday, 16 July 2008 by Michel Roth
I just recently ran into a tool called ESX Manager. This tool just got updated to version 2.3. It's a actually a pretty cool for folks that do not want to spent the money to buy virtual center but still want some kind of advanced ESX management.

It's really is a pretty cool tool and best of all it's free. For one, it allows you to manage multiple ESX hosts in one "console"without having Virtual Center. Here are some of the other features:

  • Virtual Center independent
  • Keeps track of Virtual Machine Host Registration, Migrations and Status
  • Manage Virtual Machine Configuration
  • Display and work in the Virtual Machine Console
  • Kill Virtual Machine Process (if the VM can't be powered off)
  • Rename Virtual Disks of registered Virtual Machines
  • Move Virtual Disks and keep the disk attached to the Virtual Machine
  • Virtual Machine Registration, Start , Restart , Reset, Power Off, Suspend
  • Extend Virtual Disks
  • View-Search-Filter Logfiles on the ESX Host.
  • Define and save custom SSH commands with Parameter handling
  • Publish and share custom SSH commands with other ESX Administrators
Download for free over at ESXguide.com.
