I was too excited about getting the iPad2 this year and one of the first things I started looking for was the vSphere client that VMware was supposed to make for the iPad. After standing in line and with the help of my friend, I was finally able to get my hands on Apple’s new tablet. For the next two days I religiously searched for the vSphere client for the iPad but was disappointed not to find it. Just this past Sunday, I was talking to a friend who asked me if I tried out the iPad app for vSphere. So I started searching again and it turns out I gave up searching 3-4 days before it was finally released (March 17th, 2011). After feeling left out, I finally downloaded it and took it for a spin.
You will need to download the vCMA, vSphere Client for iPad and off course a vSphere environment and an iPad will be needed. Once you have fired up your vCMA, be sure to change your password for the vCMA appliance. This is not a requirement, but if you plan on allowing remote access to your vCMA appliance, you may not want to leave it with the default password that is known by the masses. You can manage your vCMA appliance at, http://YourIP:5480. I would also assign the vCMA a static IP.
Once you have assigned the IP to vCMA, go to the settings in your iPad and tap on the “vSphere Client” and enter the IP of your vCMA in the “Web Server” field. Read the rest of this entry »
