Installing VIMA/vMA on ESXi host machines
For more information about downloading and installing VIMA or vMA on ESXi host machines, see the
VMware website ( http://www.vmware.com ).
Configuring VMware ESXi Server
To allow interactions between the physical and virtual machines, install VMware Tools on each virtual
machine. For more information, see the VMware ESXi Server documentation.
Configure the physical machine to allow automatic operating system boot on start-up in the BIOS. For more
information, see the hardware documentation. You can configure the automatic startup and shutdown
properties of guest operating systems as per requirement. For HPPP to work properly, VIMA/vMA needs to
be configured as:
• Automatic Shutdown of VIMA/vMA when ESXi host is powering down
• Automatic Startup of VIMA/vMA when ESXi host is starting up
To set each Virtual Machine to automatically boot when VMware starts-up:
1. From the Virtual Infrastructure Client interface, select the top-most ESXi host server from the tree
hierarchy on the left side of the screen.
2. Select Virtual machine startup / shutdown menu>Configuration>Properties.
The Virtual Machine Startup and Shutdown screen appears.
3. Select the VIMA/vMA guest machine, and then click Edit.
