Hi guys,
I have deployed the latest version of vCenter 6.5 on ESXi 6.5 hosts.
When I go to the new vSphere Client (HTML5) I can't view the remote console of the servers without VRMC installed
I can however view them via the vSphere Flash client and connecting to the HTML5 management of the host directly
Is there a setting I need to enable or can you only view remote consoles on the HTML5 client with VRMC?
In HTML5 also you can open Web-console (without having VMRC)
Below are the steps.
1) Select the VM.
2) Go to Summary tab --> Click on the VM image(Make sure browser pop-ups are allowed)
Note: VM image link will be enabled only when VM is powered ON.
Regards

can you see the option 'launch vm console'? please post the error screenshot you receive.
Hi,
Sorry for the slow reply.
I see the option "Launch Remote Console" but when I click it it prompts me to download VMRC.
I can view consoles on the flash Web Client without needing any additional software.
Is the VMRC required to view consoles on the HTML5 web client?
You need to download & install VMRC make sure it's installed on your local system. Optionally, You can download the VMRC installer here

VMware Remote Console (WMRC) provides console access and client device connection to VMs on a remote host. it's a standalone application for Windows and Mac OS that can be used in VMware vSphere

Thanks for the reply. Annoying you can view the console without VMRC on the old web client but the new HTML5 web client needs additional software :smileyplain:
