Login to VMware ESXi 6.0
ESXi 6.0 is installed and what we need to do is login. If you have vCenter Server ISO simply install client from it, if not download vSphere Client from VMware website.
I will not describe vSphere Client installation process, because it is simple Windows installer.
VMware vSphere 6.0 (fat client) didn’t change at all in comparison to earlier versions.
Provide root password click Login and voilà! We successfully installed ESXi as Virtual Machine in VMware Workstation 11.
