I cant believe this actually slipped by me. On 18th March, VMware officially released the vSphere iPad client. To use this client you need to download and install the vCenter Mobile Access appliance. The iPad client allows you to manage and control your VMware hosts and Virtual Machines running within a vCenter.
The VMware vSphere Client for iPad is a companion interface to the traditional vSphere client, optimized for viewing and managing your vSphere environment on the go. With this client you can monitor the performance of vSphere hosts and virtual machines. Virtual machines can be started, stopped and suspended. vSphere hosts can be rebooted or put into maintenance mode.
Features:
Search for vSphere hosts and virtual machines in your vSphere environment
Monitor the performance of vSphere hosts and virtual machines
Manage virtual machines with the ability to start, stop and suspend
View and restore your virtual machines’ snapshots
Reboot vSphere hosts or put them into maintenance mode
Diagnose vSphere hosts and virtual machines using built-in ping and traceroute toolsRequirements:
vCenter Mobile Access (vCMA) virtual appliance available from the VMware Labs: http://labs.vmware.com/flings/vcma
