Installing HP Insight Management Agents on ESX Server. In this case, I am using HP Insight Management Agents for VMware 8.2.5 (available here).I am also using a HP DL380 G6 Proliant servers with VMware versions 4.0. I have a 3 ESX cluster version 3.5 already installed. I also have HP insite manager (version 5.1 with SP1) installed on our monitoring server. (Which runs to look over our 3coms, network devices.

I've been running ESX with HP Management Agents for 4 years over several versions of ESX. Early on the agents were flaky, there was little information, and they didn't always function as advertised. Now we rely on them for comprehensive hardware monitoring probably since early ESX 3.5 they have been relatively solid with better and better integration with ESX. I am transitioning from ESX to ESXi 4.1 installable and I am having he same difficulties finding information as I did 4 years ago. I did install the 'hp-esxi4.1uX-bundle-1.0.zip' and can do a very basic discovery of the Host but, it isn't useful in its current state. (1) Is there any documentation for configuring an ESXi 4.1 in HP Insight Manager?

(2) I assume I can still get traps that alert up to the Insight Manager Console. Is that true? (3) Does SMH still exist or is there some other means for our NOC to drill down to identify a hardware problem? Any help would be much appreciated. I would think since ESXi has existed for sometime now there would be plenty of documentation but, I'm not finding anything.

Why there is not a definitive guide on the Internet I do not know. HP’s site for the install is horribly vague, and the VMware site is similarly vague, referencing the HP site. Oh yeah that helps. Since I am not a linux geek by any measure, it was a bit frustrating. So I had to write my own. E Pos Thermal Printer Drivers Download. For anyone that happens to trip here from google, enjoy.
