emcgrab for vmware esxsever

Hello,

 

anyone know whether there is  EMCGrab utility that is scripts for vmware; or are there any such things out there?

  

emc would like us to run emcgrab on our servers.

 

We have vmware esx 3.0.1 servers.  

    When we ran the emcgrab_Linux_v3.9_1 version on one of our vmware esx 3.0.1 servers, we got the following warning:   WARNING: This is a VMware ESX Server. It is recommended to run the vm-support script instead of EMCGrab. In any case, the output of EMCGrab and vm-support on this server is not supported by HEAT for analysis purposes.

Do you want to continue (Y/N)   

 

any hints extremely appreciated!

 

thanks,

 

tai

There's a linux version of EMCgrab, but I'm not sure it would gather relevant info on an ESX server.

ESX has a support log you can pull. Possibly this is what they want.

Did you ask where to get an EMCgrab for ESX?
