How to run Gues OS on EXSi from the server itself?

Question

VMware

I installed EXSi 6.5 on a separate clean computer.
That is, when it boots up, a black and yellow screen appears with basic settings and network settings.
I connect to it via the web interface using the IP address on the local network on the second computer.
Next, I installed Windows 7 as a Virtual Machine
I can connect to this Windows in the same place in the browser, or via Microsoft Remote Desktop

But is it possible to connect to Windows directly from the first computer on which EXSi is installed? For example, when booting the system, choose to boot from Virtual Machine from the list, or EXSi itself

Answer 1

Set up the transfer of the video card and usb controller for the keyboard / mouse inside the virtual machine. With some luck (if you have desktop hardware, the chances are small, but there are) you will succeed, connect the monitor to this forwarded video card and get as if you were a regular computer. You will almost certainly need a second graphics card to run the ESXi host system where it will display its info window.
If you chose the same virtualbox (or any other desktop version) that requires a regular operating system (even windows or linux) to work, then the virtual machine screen would be displayed on your host machine as a normal application window, in some cases there are even ways to visually transfer application windows from a virtual machine as an application to the host system, blurring the host / guest line as much as possible ... or expand the guest system window to full screen, with the ability to 'exit' using hot keys.
