Looks like you're logging in directly to the host and not vCenter. If you log in to vCenter this message does not show up, it's just a reminder that it's not a standalone ESXi host

I understand that. There are occasions where I use the vsphere client in lieu of vsphere web client for certain configuration changes. All I am curious about is if the default dialogue can be suppressed.

This notification is to remind you, you should really be connecting and managing your hosts via vCenter Server!

Upon initial launch of the vsphere5.5 client (after logging on), I receive the message:<br />
<br />
&quot;This host is currently being managed by the vCenter Server with IP address X.X.X.X. Changes made to this host during this session may now be reflected in vSphere Client sessions currently viewing the vCenter Server.&quot;<br />

I am hosting a vcenter server so this is not the issue. my actual question is, is it possible to suppress this notification?<br />

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.

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
