UT-VMG Web User Interface
Key Attributes
- Allows you to view all VMs for which you have support-user privileges to administer or monitor (whether your login created them or not).
- When you perform tasks in the VM, you cannot rely on the browser to auto-refresh. To be sure your changes are saved, you must refresh the browser manually.
Credentials
All users to the UT-VMG service are based on AUSTIN Active Directory logins.
Those logins are associated with AD security groups that associate people with projects (formerly called business groups) in the product. A user may be associated with multiple projects; e.g., a department may have multiple projects for administration, research, etc. Users in those groups are allowed to manage VMs in all the groups they belong to.
Logging Out
If you are going to be using the service from a shared or public web browser, use one of the following methods.
- Click the Sign Out button under your user menu at the top right of the page, and quit the web browser when you are done.
- Before logging in choose a New Private Window (Firefox), New Incognito Window (Chrome), or enable Private Browsing (Safari) before logging in to the UT-VMG service. Then when you are done, close that window.
vSphere Web Clients
Key Attributes
vSphere web clients allow you to view all VMs for which you have support-user privileges to administer or monitor (whether your login created them or not).
Credentials
All users to the UT-VMG service are based on AUSTIN Active Directory logins.
Those logins are associated with AD security groups that associate people with provisioning groups/projects in the product. A user may be associated with multiple provisioning groups; e.g., a department may have multiple provisioning groups for administration, research, etc. Users in those groups are allowed to manage VMs in all the groups they belong to.
Logging Out
In the upper right-hand corner, click your credential being displayed. From the dropdown menu, click Logout.
Mounting an ISO
- You must use the Virtual Machine Remote Console (VMRC) program in order to mount a local ISO to your VMs.
- Windows VMRC Install: Windows_VMRC
- Mac VMRC Install: Mac_VMRC (Also available in App Store)
- Linux VMRC Install: Linux_VMRC
- You must launch the VMRC from the HTML5 Web Client.
