When you no longer need to view or manage your target ESXi host, log out of the VMware Host Client.

Note: Closing a VMware Host Client session does not stop the host.

Procedure

  • To log out of the ESXi host, click the user name at the top of the VMware Host Client window and select Log out from the drop-down menu.
    You are now logged out of the VMware Host Client. Your target ESXi host continues to run all its normal activities.
