Deploying the OMSA Agent onto an ESX System

Install the OMSA tar.gz on an ESX system to gather inventory and alert information from the systems.

To deploy the OMSA agent tar.gz on an ESX system with the required remote enablement setting (-c) option:

  1. Run the OMSA agent installation script:

    srvadmin-install.sh -x -c
  2. Start OMSA services:

    srvadmin-services.sh start
  3. If the OMSA agent is already installed, make sure that it has remote enablement configuration (-c) option or theOpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter installation will not complete successfully. Reinstall it with the -c option and restart the service:

    srvadmin-install.sh -c
    srvadmin-services.sh restart
