VMware is the global leader in virtualization software, providing desktop and server virtualization products for virtual infrastructure solutions. Mac OS X Support for vSphere Web Client. Being a web application, the vSphere Web Client has always worked on a Mac OS X system, however you may have noticed a couple. The Client Integration Plug-in provides access to a virtual machine's console in the vSphere Web Client, and provides access to other vSphere infrastructure features. The Client Integration Plug-in also lets you log in to the vSphere Web Client by using Windows session credentials.
An installation of vCenter + VMWare web client will allow you to successfully manage your esxi servers from a web browser, however the one negative is that there isn't a browser plug in for osx. In the interim enable vnc on your guests.
Standalone VMRC now available for Mac OS X by William Lam 55 Comments Last year, a standalone Virtual Machine Remote Console (VMRC) was released for Windows as part of vSphere 5.5 Update 2b which provides an alternative way of launching the VM console due to NPAPI deprecation.

Hi
Anyone else having issues with Vmware Vsphere 6 Client Integration Plugin under Mac OS X 10.12 Sierra?
I went to this KB article Disabled and left disabled the SIP in Sierra, removed and reinstalled the client integration plugin and ran the two commands from Terminal:
Still even after a few reboots and making sure my Chrome and Firefox are up to date it fails for me.
Firefox did ask the first time after i did all the steps to Allow the plugin which I did and Unchecked not to ask for the future.
When trying to upload a file to My Datastore , I get the Pop up where I can browse to the File and Select it but when I click Open, Instead of Uploading it It just hangs infinitely. It happens with both Firefox and Chrome. Does not matter if the File Im trying to upload is on local or remote storage such as a NAS
Update: This has been solved with a workaround using the Embedded Host Client fling from https://labs.vmware.com/flings/esxi-embedded-host-client Thanks to andyr354

I'm a VMware guy, running a dozen of ESXi . and i'm also a mac user and I've had it with launching VMware Fusion to boot my Win7 to work on vSphere client.
Am I missing something? Sys Admins and Solution Architects are using Linux/Mac more and more . Is there anyway that i can do that without having to rely on rdesktop and other unreliable workarounds?
If you've got access to vCenter, then you can administer your servers via the vCenter Web Access page. Otherwise, if you have any Windows VMs then you could install the vSphere client in there and remote-desktop into it as a standalone application.

No need for esx client. Here's the ultra-unix-geek answer: ssh to esx host, run vim-cmd power.on , or any number of actions available for the vim-cmd. .sometimes they even work! How's that for geeky.

Basically VMware is Windows now. They have the microsoft philosophy of 'dumbing down' everything. They been doing it with vmware for years. It used to be completely manageable by anyone with unix/linux skills. https://driveyellow263.weebly.com/best-email-calendar-client-for-mac.html. Now its an almost completely dumbed down - windoze-afied linux, with a completely crippled shell.
My advice: switch to KVM (RHEV for ex.), escape vmware vendor lock-in, save up to 40% on expenses, and have a real 'nix OS that you can manage. :) Peace, out.

For Mac OS X, no. The only Apple management option is the iPad management app that VMware released a short while ago.
