Master agent for Linux Vmware ESX server

Is there a master agent install for Linux. We need it to install on our ESX vmware server. Not able to find anything on powerlink. Where can I download the install files from? Any documentation on how to install it? It would be really helpful to have monitoring capabiliteis for our vmware servers that host and master agent provide.

Hi,

with ESX 3.0.1 ( base on RHEL 3 )
I installed csh ( from RHEL 3 rpms)
and then I installed packaged Master and Hosts agents for RHEL 3.

This works fine.

With csh installed you can also install symcli :)

You can get rpm for csh in RHEL repository (in here we are registered customers, so it is easy )
when you have your rpm just type command
rpm -iv csh*.rpm

The master and host agents from the RHEL3 system installed onto the ESX 3.0.1 host is NOT SUPPORTED.

If you have issues doing this down the track, it's NOT SUPPORTED in anyway.

I agree with you that it sure would be nice to have agents for ESX servers. Last time I asked, I was told that it would be included in the next major release of Control Center. I have been tempted to use the csh/Linux method but havent made the move yet.

As long as you know if you do it, and something doesn't work with that agent in that unsupported configuration, then you won't be able to get support on this agent installed onto the unsupported platform of ESX server.

I would wait for ECC 6.0, ESX server is supported, and there is an agent for VMWARE.
