Here comes the second and last tutorial in the Rove Mobile Admin 4.2 series. In this video I used BlackBerry to demonstrate some administration tasks in the VI3 including:

• Exploring the VI environment (Datacenter, Cluster, ESX, VMs ..etc.)
• Analyzing the Events on an ESX host
• Power on VMs
• Searching for VMs.
• Edit VM settings (like memory & CPU)
• Manage VMs using the Mobile Admin WMI
• Connect and explore the SQL server hosting the vCenter’s DB
• Viewing the status of the vCenter’s services, and the ability to start, stop or restart them.

I actualy forgot one of the most important parts, which is the SSH access directly into the ESX servers, I may screenshot that later on, but for now I just wanted to point that it’s possible through the Mobile Admin.

Enough said, let’s get to it..
