All the DBA, None of the hair
I run mainly on Macs, which means OS X. Unfortunately that means I don’t have access to the GUI of vmware. As of 6.0 U2, vmware has a very slick web UI built into it. Just look at the following article, all I had to do was ssh to my ESXi server and run:
esxcli software vib install -v http://download3.vmware.com/software/vmw-tools/esxui/esxui_signed.vib

While trying to connect to an AIX box, and start dbca, I got the following error
Xlib: connection to "192.168.0.100:0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified
This is an issue with Xming security. I changed the shortcut on my windows desktop to:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Xming\Xming.exe" :2 -clipboard -multiwindow -ac
I was immediately able to fire up dbca.
the -ac option disable access control restrictions, so you should never do this over a public network, it could open up a massive hole in your computer and allow anyone to connect.
