Fresh Install

To install it download the ova file of the Fling an install it – like my post New Fling – vSphere HTML5 Web Client describes.

 

Update

  • For an update download the rpm file and upload it to the appliance (e.g. /tmp) or if your appliance has internet access use
    wget https://download3.vmware.com/software/vmw-tools/vsphere_html_client/vsphere-h5-client-1.0.0.0-3758069.noarch.rpm
  • Stop the vSphere Web Client
    /etc/init.d/vsphere-client stop
  • Start the Update
    rpm -Uvh ./vsphere-h5-client-1.0.0.0-3758069.noarch.rpm

    vSphereHTML5Client_Fling_Update1.1_000001

  • After successfull install cleanup your appliance
    rm -rf /usr/lib/vmware-vsphere-client/server/work
  • Start the vSphere Web Client
    /etc/init.d/vsphere-client start
