ProLiant VMware ESXi Server Configuration
Before you can monitor your ProLiant ESXi managed systems you must:
l Verify the managed systems are supported by checking the Insight Remote Support Advanced
Release Notes.
l Verify the ESXi system is configured. If using HP's distribution of ESXi, all necessary WBEM
providers are included.
l Verify Insight Remote Support Advanced is configured.
Important: Configuration collections are not supported.
Understanding VMware ESXi and Insight Remote
Support Advanced
There are two methods of obtaining ESXi:
l When ESXi is HP's distribution, which contains the WBEM providers (see "Obtaining the HP ESXi
Distribution" below).
l When ESXi is VMware's distribution, which does not contain the WBEM providers. The WBEM
providers need to be installed separately, which are also available from HP (see "Obtaining and
Configuring the VMware ESXi Distribution" on the next page).
Obtaining the HP ESXi Distribution
VMware ESXi includes the necessary WBEM providers to communicate hardware events to the CMS.
Use the root account credentials for the ESXi system when configuring the WBEM protocols for this
managed system on the CMS. Because there is no System Management Homepage (SMH) functionality
in ESXi, there is not a WBEM indications test that can currently be run from the managed system to the
CMS.
Important: If using the ESXi distribution files distributed by HP, then it is not necessary to download
and install the bundle because the distribution files already have the bundle integrated within.
The HP ESXi 4 distribution can be downloaded from the following link:
https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=HPVM06.
The HP ESXi 5 distribution can be downloaded from the following link:
https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=HPVM09.
