Workstation Pro creates a tab in the right pane of the Workstation Pro window when you select an item in the library. Tabs appear by default.

Procedure

  • Use the links on the Home tab to create a virtual machine, open a virtual machine, connect to a remote server, virtualize a physical machine, use the virtual network editor, customize Workstation Pro preferences, download software updates, and view the help system.
  • Use the virtual machine tabs to view virtual machine configuration information, modify virtual machine hardware and option settings, and create or modify the virtual machine description.
  • Use the Shared VMs tab to see information about all of the shared virtual machines on the host system.
  • Use the tab for a remote host to browse information about the remote host, including CPU, memory, and disk usage, and the virtual machines, and virtual machine tasks running on the remote host.
    If you are using Workstation Pro on a Windows host and the remote server is running vCenter Server, other objects can appear in the library. In this situation, when vCenter Server appears in the library, you can toggle between the Hosts and Clusters view and the VMs view. The Hosts and Clusters view displays datacenters, clusters, ESXi hosts, resource pools, vApps, and virtual machines.
  • Select File > Close Tab to close a tab.
