16. How to install software on VMware ESXi server.
This section describes the installation and configuration of the Software on VMware ESXi server.
Notice: the version of VMware ESXi should be purchased, because of free of charge
version without some function, software can’t be used normally on free of charge version OS.
The software agent can’t be installed on the hypervisor system, because VMware ESXi doesn’t
have an administrative console for hypervisor. However, the software can be installed on VMware
Infrastructure Management Assistant (VIMA) 1.0 or on vSphere Management Assistant (vMA) to
manage the shutdown of VMware ESXi hosts. You can suspend or shutdown guest operating
systems safely and orderly by configuring the ESXi hypervisor. This allows one software agent on
one guest operating system (VIMA/vMA). The software installed on VIMA or vMA should be
configured to be shut down by another software agent communicating with UPS by RS232 or USB.
Another software agent should be installed on operating system with GUI.
The software notifies the VMware server of important message with pop-up broadcast
information on the console. It also safely shuts down the VMware ESXi server and the guest
operating system. Before the VMware ESXi system shuts down, use the shutdownESXi.sh script to
shut down the guest operating system.
All operations are tested on VMware ESXi server with two guest operating systems (SBS 2003
and Red Hat).
Tested operations include:
● Safely shut down of the VMware server
● Safely shut down of the guest operating system
