With vmware workstation 8, I can manage more of one esxi server and virtual mechine on vmware workstation, like using vmware hypervisor I can manage resource, adding new virtual mechine act. Here step by step I have to do.
From vmware workstation chose File then connect then would ask server name (IP address esxi), userĀ name (user esxi) and password (password esxi). I used username as administrator to get manage vmware esxi, for more detail just look picture below.
