AFAIK консоль управления для ESXi стоит денег и на этом вся бесплатность заканчивается. Хотя по идее можно купить один полноценный ESX, и использовать идущую в комплекте консоль на остальных (бесплатных) ESXi. Если ошибаюсь - поправте. :) 22 сентября 2008 г. 12:38 пользователь Andrew Stesin написал:
