Description
Connect to your Vmware® vCenter or to your ESX(i) server and take control of your Virtual Machines on the go!The ideal application for Data Center Administrators who want to have a life outside of work too! :) It does not replace your vSphere® Client, but it comes really close to it.
iVMControl allows you to connect remotely and securely to your Virtualization Hypervisors and monitor the activity on the hosts and on the VMs. You will be able to check alarms, events and task status, see the status of every host and VM, the operating system installed, the power state, the status and version of your vmtools, check if any VM has raised an alarm and so on.
You can also remotely power on, power off or suspend virtual machines, enter or exit maintenance mode, reboot, disconnect or reconnect your ESX hosts.
You can see the graphs for the CPU usage, memory, NIC card usage, HDD usage for both VMs and Hosts, you can make/restore/manage snapshots of VMs.
In addition, we offer VMotion support and screenshots for VMs (more to come...)
A WiFi connection is recommended, but not required. You can also use VPN connections if you have a VPN client on your device.
For slower connections, you might want to tweak your connection timeout parameter (by default 30 sec).

** NOTE ** Please note that for ESXi *FREE*, Vmware decided to offer read-only access to the management APIs. This applies to all management applications, and is enforced by Vmware. What this means for iVMControl is that if you have a FREE ESXi, you will be able to use only the 'read-only' (monitoring) functions of iVMControl. If you have a paid license of ESXi (Essentials license is enough) this does not apply to you.
Console support for ESX/vCenter.
Requirements:
Please note that regardless of the connection point (ESX(i)/vCenter), the console connects *directly* to the ESX host where the VM you want to monitor resides. This implies you need to make sure that your ESX hosts have IP addresses that are *routable*, otherwise you will not be able to access the VNC console; you need to make sure that the port configured (in the range 5900-5999) is allowed through your firewall for each ESX device you want to connect to.
Furthermore, please make note of the fact that only the 8-character password is encrypted with the standard VNC client. All VNC client traffic is sent unencrypted across the network. If security is a concern in your organization, you need to be aware of this. You can disable your VNC terminal once you are done with the Console session (use Configure Console and disable VNC altogether).
VMWare Tools needs to be installed on each and every VM that is monitored through iVMControl's console connection. Check the Vmware knowledge base on other requirements:

Doesn't work Gives an error about read only free version even though I am on a licensed copy. I am sick of all of this buggy copy protection in apps that I paid for.

Excellent, but... This app works great. I wish it had caching as it takes a long time to load the devices every time you click in to a page. Also, when I select VMotion while connected to our vSphere server the names of the ESX servers are shown as com.projecteureka.android.whatever. The names are so long that they get cut off and there's no way to tell what server you are selecting. Overall definitely worth the price.

Great App. Must Have! Amazing app. Would be better if it came with VMConsole integrated. Needs to download the info all at the one time instead of going into each individual tab

Great app, but... This desperately needs to cache the data about the hosts and VMs. It is so tiresome going through menus and waiting it to load ALL of the host's info.

Must have for anybody running VMWare I've been looking for something to remotely control my VMWare. I tried several Apps, but this one beats all of them. It supports large installations, works perfect on my Samsung phone and a tablet. In a way it is even better than the iPhone app from the same company. Amazing features: Real-time events, tasks, alerts, ability to remotely control power of VMs and hosts, charting of CPU, memory, hdd, and net usage. You can connect to VM from the phone via Remote Desktop!! Update: Inventory Navigator!!

Great App The app is working fine also with vshere5. But I am still missing the cluster view, so only 4 stars.
