Out of curiousity, what benefits are provided with the HP agents? The reason I ask is because we're in the early stages of implementing VMWare in our environment. I've been working closely with our new Architect who was previously a consultant that designed and implemented VMWare deployments. He has been pretty vocal against the installation of the HP agents and/or Dell Open manage solutions for ESX. He indicated he has experienced far too many kernel panics (purple screens of death?) caused by these two pieces of software.
Given the problems you seem to be having with the installation, I was wondering if it was all worth it. - Sean On Tue, Jul 12, 2011 at 9:43 AM, Damien Solodow <damien.solo...@harrison.edu > wrote: > Ah, thanks for the clarification. > > When you download the hpmgmt tgz and extract it, one of the files it will > extract is called hpmgmt.zip > Extract that file and you'll find all the hp snmp and mgmt rpm files. > > DAMIEN SOLODOW > Systems Engineer > 317.447.6033 (office) > 317.447.6014 (fax) > HARRISON COLLEGE > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Mike Leone [mailto:oozerd...@gmail.com] > Sent: Tuesday, July 12, 2011 11:36 AM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: Re: OT - problems installing HP Management Agents on VMware ESX > 4.1 > > On 7/12/2011 11:00 AM, Damien Solodow wrote: > > The HP specific RPMs should be from the agents you downloaded (8.60, > 8.70).
