I had that much questions regarding installing the HP Insight Agents on ESX servers, here is the one and only precedure:
Download the latest HP Agents for ESX from HP.com.
Â
Save the *.tgz file somewhere and transfer it to the ESX server using a utility like WinSCP.
Â
After copying, log in to the console of the ESX server.
Â
Go to the directory where you saved the *.tgz file.
Â
Use this command to unpack the *.tgz :
Â
tar -zxvf hpmgmt-7.7.0-vmware2x.tgz
Â
Start the install by typing this command :
Â
./installvm770.sh –install
Â
Respond to the questions asked, quite always the default answer is the ruight one
Â
Verify funtionality by connecting via your browser to connect to https://servername:2381
Â
Â
Good luck!
