I have upgraded vCenter server to 5.5.0a which makes available client integration tools for OSX, which means that virtual consoles through vSphere web client are supposed to be supported on Mac. In general the web client works very well, except that if I open a virtual console on a VM which does not have vmware tools installed, such as a fresh install, there is no mouse pointer. After vmware tools installs and the server reboots (on a Windows Server) the mouse pointer becomes available. Unfortunately it's often the reason I would go to the console that I need to install vmware tools or vmware tools quit working, which makes this a very annoying bug. Anyone aware of a workaround?
My environment right now has only ESXi 5.1 hosts, with vCenter 5.5. This occurs in both Firefox and Chrome on 10.8 and 10.9.
