Install or Upgrade the vSphere Web Client

The vSphere Web Client lets you connect to a vCenter Server system to manage your vSphere deployment

through a browser.

If an earlier version of the vSphere Web Client is installed, this procedure upgrades the vSphere Web Client.

NOTE vCenter Server 5.5 supports connection between vCenter Server and vCenter Server components by

IP address only if the IP address is IPv4-compliant. To connect to a vCenter Server system in an IPv6

environment, you must use the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or host name of the vCenter Server.

The best practice is to use the FQDN, which works in all cases, instead of the IP address, which can change if

assigned by DHCP.

Prerequisites

Download the vCenter Server installer. See “Download the vCenter Server Installer,” on page 59.

Verify that the system has an Internet connection.

Verify that the system meets the software requirements for the vSphere Web Client. See “vSphere Web

Client Software Requirements,” on page 22.

Before you install or upgrade any vSphere product, synchronize the clocks of all machines on the

vSphere network. See “Synchronizing Clocks on the vSphere Network,” on page 53.

Install vCenter Single Sign-On, or upgrade to the current version.

Verify that the vSphere Web Client and vCenter Server are registered to the same vCenter Single Sign-

On server, to ensure that the vSphere Web Client can access the vCenter Server inventory.

Close all browsers before installing or uninstalling the vSphere Web Client.

contain any non-ASCII characters.

Procedure

1 In the software installer directory, double-click the autorun.exe file to start the installer.

2 Select vSphere Web Client and click Install.

3 Follow the prompts in the installation wizard to choose the installer language, and agree to the end user

patent and license agreements.

4 Either accept the default destination folder or click Change to select another location.

The installation path cannot contain any of the following characters: non-ASCII characters, commas (,),

periods (.), exclamation points (!), pound signs (#), at signs (@), or percentage signs (%).

If 8.3 name creation is disabled on the host machine, do not install the vSphere Web Clientin a directory

that does not have an 8.3 short name or has a name that contains spaces. This situation will make the

vSphere Web Client inaccessible.

5 Accept or change the default port settings.

6 Enter the information to register the vSphere Web Client with vCenter Single Sign-On.

The vCenter Single Sign-On administrator user name is [email protected], and the password

must match the password you entered for the administrator user when you installed vCenter Single

Sign-On. The Lookup Service URL takes the form https://SSO_host_FQDN_or_IP:

7444/lookupservice/sdk, where 7444 is the default vCenter Single Sign-On HTTPS port number. Your

entry should match the entry you made when you installed vCenter Single Sign-On. If you entered a

different port number when you installed vCenter Single Sign-On, use that port number.
