ILO amplifier integrate with vcenter life cycle manager -

[vjrk83]

Hello HP , 

Im in the process of integrating the ILO amplifier with vcenter life cycle manager. Th version of VMware Upgrade pack is P35974_001_VUP11A-SPP-VUP11A.2020_0831.14.iso . We have all our host upgraded to esxi 7.0u1c and they're on HP Gen9's. Few questions to clarify 

Does Gen9 supported with this version for upgrading firmwares using vLCM ?
I tried to connect to ILO via Hardware support manager HPE and it says error as AMS_NOT_INSTALLED , eventhough AMSD is installed but unable to start.
Also need more detailed docment on this inetgration setup as I was not able to find a good document for ILO amplifier integration with vlcm with Gen9 and Gen10's hardwares.

Hello, 

We upgraded to esxi7.0 using the customer HPE ISO - VMware-ESXi-7.0.1-17325551-HPE-701.0.0.10.6.3.9-Jan2021.iso  . 

It installed all the packages tools for HPE , but why its not starting ? When I try to start any server e.g sut ot amsd it fails with errror.
