The VMware ESXi Architecture is different to VMware ESX. ESXi does not have a service console like ESX.

Hello Experts; <br />
<br />
I would like to know how I can add vMotion feature to the service console, so they share the same IP Address? I have seen it on ESXi 4.1 but I could not do it on ESX 4.0. <br />

Use the same IP Address / NIC for vMotion and Service console - VMware?

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
