[Cialug] Walk-on VMWare

Visited a new client this AM, .. they had a pretty sweet setup - 5 VMs
separated into services (web, email, ..), separate physical Windoze
machine.

They have a user & root login to the machine that responds to the monitor
& keyboard, but it has no ssh key traces of connection to the other
four machines.

Apparently, they have a VMWare environment (recognized name over Xen or
VirtualBox - the system was build two years ago, so VB is most likely not
a choice), however I see no evidence OF the environment - the console is
connected to the first VM, and no evidence of ssh config to the other
machines.

Have not done much VMWare myself, .. is this common in the VMWare world?
Assuming there is a DOM0 in place, why would it not be connected to the
console? How does one connect with the VMWare hypervisor, or to the VMs
for maintenance work?
