Main Index
The starting point for any developer is http://www.vmware.com/developer but as there is a overwhelming amount of information available, we are trying to make it easier accessible on this site.
Hopefully we'll succeed at that over time, it is a pretty high goal. It certainly isn't the case yet, but time will tell.
Management Virtual Machines
VMware ESX 3.5 and earlier had the management console, a stripped down linux console which was could be used for automating and managing your virtual machines. As of ESX 3.5i this is no longer available and the future is to move away from the fat hypervisor. In order to manage your virtual machines in a similar way as before, we now have special virtual machines that come with management software pre-installed. VMware delivers 2 appliances for this, the VIMA and the RCLI.
