Catch-22

We are using one of the Win XP VMware View VM's (dt-xp002) as the client for the vSphere client, accessing it via RDP. While this is a temporary setup during the config for the equipment closets, it presents a catch-22.

Since this VM resides on westwood and the vCenter Server VM resides on northvale, there is no easy way of shutting down either ESXi server without losing control of vSphere.

Until the move is ready, we will be accessing vSphere via Gig-e from external clients. In the end, the Win XP hardware called tibet-77 will move to the closets and be the client machine.
