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
- After successfull install cleanup your appliance
rm -rf /usr/lib/vmware-vsphere-client/server/work
