HPSIM agents for esx 3.5

[Jon_151]

I downloaded the file from here-
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?swItem=MTX-c72eeb5b13b94981b77e0bfcfe〈=en&cc=us&idx=2&mode=4&

It says it is for VMware ESX Server 3.x
When I try to untar the file I get the following errors-
tar -xvf hpmgmt-8.0.0-vmware3x.tar
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Probably a bad download.

Also you want to get version 8.20 which is the latest. I don't thing 8.0 is supported for ESX 3.5.

And try tar zxvf as the archive is a tgz file.
