Re: Agents for VMServer

There are no agents as such.
I believe some have used the desktop agents and have got good results.
If you use enable wbem for the guests you can get quite a bit of detail from the reports.

VMM also has CPU threshold reporting, but having disk threshold reporting would be nice. It would be nice to see that enhanced to cover disk thresholds.

I guess HP's view is that having a VM agent means that anyone could then use HPSIM and these agents to monitor all servers in their environment no matter who the vendor was. And one of the things that adds value to me for HP kit is their manageability.
