Deploying the VMM agent
This tool is used to deploy the HP ProLiant Essentials Virtual Machine Management Pack agent on the target
virtual machine hosts. Multiple virtual machine hosts can be selected to deploy the agent. This agent enables
HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) to identify, through the HP ProLiant Essentials Virtual Machine
Management Pack server, whether the server is a virtual machine host.
NOTE:
OpenSSH must be configured properly and running on both the
(CMS) and the selected target virtual machine hosts to deploy Virtual Machine Management Pack. See
for information on installing OpenSSH.
For VMware ESX Server 2.5.3 or 3.0 virtual machine hosts, you must perform Virtual Machine Management
Pack registration. However, it is not necessary to perform the following steps for the hosts. Instead, the Virtual
Machine Management Pack agent is provided with the HP ProLiant Support Pack and activated upon
registration of the virtual machine hosts. The HP ProLiant Support Pack is available from the SmartStart CD
included with your server or by accessing
and clicking Download.
To deploy the Virtual Machine Management Pack agent:
1.
Sign in to HP SIM from an account with administrator privileges.
2.
Select Deploy
→Drivers, Firmware and Agents→Install VMM Agent, and select either Linux or
Windows
.
3.
Select the target virtual machine hosts by selecting the checkbox next to the appropriate systems.
4.
Click Apply.
5.
If necessary, click Add Targets to add targets, or click Remove Targets to remove targets, and then
click Next.
6.
Click Run Now to deploy the Virtual Machine Management Pack agent immediately, or click Schedule
to deploy the Virtual Machine Management Pack agent to selected virtual machine hosts at a later time.
