They took forever and a day to build while you watched the little whirly ball of sadness. One of the slowest parts of the vSphere Web Client has been the menus. I’ve also opened the contextual menu so you can see the Size All Columns to Fit feature (awesome). Notice that Used Space is sorting in descending order.
I’ve used Virtual Machines as an example.
Here’s an example from my vSphere 6 Web Client showing sorts for all of the columns. You can also start, stop, restart, or edit the service startup type (automatic, manual, or disabled). This is found in the Administration > Deployment > System Configuration section. I’m also a fan of being able to see much more granular detail when it comes to vCenter services, their health, and operating state. Great for smaller screens or RDP sessions. The title also keeps a count of active alarms or tasks. They become expandable boxes that pop out when you hover over them. Handy!Īnother improvement is the ability to push alarms and the work in progress panels into the side. The first is around suppressing host SSH warnings directly from interface.
Charts are available and usable in less then half the timeĪfter spending a few months with the vSphere Web Client, I’ve noticed a number of handy updates. Here’s the official numbers provided by VMware on the improvements offered in this new version of the vSphere Web Client I’ve found that the user experience is peppy right out of the box no need to tune the web server or fuss around with Java cache sizes in your browser. You’ll only see your tasks by default, but can change that option in the bottom left corner. The tasks bar now sits at the bottom, same as the vSphere Client, providing much more real estate for operations. I know that we all want an HTML5-based client, but I personally would rather have a web client that works today and keep my fingers crossed for an HTML5 version in the future. I upgraded the title because the vSphere Web Client in 6.0 is more than just usable – it’s vastly better from a performance and user experience perspective. The original title I had picked out for this post was Still Flash, But Actually Usable. You can click me to return to the directory, or choose a different deep dive from the menu at the top. Welcome to the vSphere 6.0 ZOMG Series, focused on the tech goodies baked into 6.0.
