The VMM console is the GUI interface of the VMM management server. You will be using it to manage the cloud, fabric, storage, and resources, for example.
You can use this recipe to configure the VMM console to connect to a highly available VMM management server.
Best practice recommends installing the VMM console on a machine other than the clustered VMM servers. It is recommended that you install it on the management desktop, and from there, connect to the HA VMM cluster as this will prevent a connection loss in case of failure in one of the VMM management nodes.
Note
Review the Installing the VMM console recipe in Chapter 3, Installing VMM 2016, for information about installing the VMM console and Chapter 1, VMM 2016 Architecture, for system prerequisites.
The VMM console will enable you to manage VMM remotely from your desktop without needing to use RDP into the VMM server.
