[jpmartin]

Hi,

i saw before that VMWARE hypervisor supports ISEE, and i try to install it on a 3.02 with a failure, is it really supported ?

[root@node1 isee]# ./install.sh

Proceeding to install suitable JRE.

Please refer to this document for supported hardware and software:

I've used this document before trying to install ISEE, but missing some libraries, and i don't want to modify the Hypervisor without more instructions.

It is why i ask me if it's really supported ?

Hi,

I do not see VMWARE hypervisor 3.02 on the Supported list, only VMware ESX Server 2.1.x, 2.5.*. (using Model 3 implementation which requires a CMS).

Bottom line:
1. Do not install ISEE Client software on these Servers. This will NOT work.

2. You may want to setup IM Agent to send traps to the CMS, this has been working for VMWare ESX 2.1.x and 2.5.x ((hypervisor only - not the guests)

Hope this helps,

Thank you for help
