VMWareControl

Do you know the problem that the number of VMWare Server installations grows very rappidly? And that it is pretty annoying you can’t really easily switch from one host to the other?

Well I had that problem and decided to make a tool to manage all servers from within one tool. It is sort of a cheap-ass version of Virtual Center (you didn’t pay for VMWare Server why pay for the management tool).

The tool does require you have installed the Management Interface add-on (on Linux this is a separate installation, on windows server you need to have IIS installed).

Feature list:

  1. easily configure list of vmware servers (use same login/password for all if you want)
  2. print the server overview
  3. list diskusage (not in the standard Management Interface)
  4. open console from overview
  5. start/suspend/stop images from overview
  6. for the developer: great sample to see how webbrowsercontrol can be used.

Note that this version is NOT compatible with the upcoming 2.0 release.
