Enabling Ssystem Management HomePage for ESXi 5.1

[lvaibhavt1210]

Hi All,

I have HP Windows Servers in my enviornement and when I access the link https://servername:2381 the System Management Home page comes up fine.

I am trying to achieve the same on a HP Server running HP custom ESXi 5.1 --- I have looked on google and asked HP support as well. However they are saying this is not possible. is there no way when I open URL https://esxi01:2381 -- all the hardware details come up like in Windows?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

What is the Generation for the server if it's a Gen8 or newer you can use the ILO and AMS software. I believe that since the 5.x versions of ESX you need to install the ESX agent here : http://h20566.www2.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?sp4ts.oid=4194639&swItemId=MTX_a1830a1bd584493eaa27e14a7c&swEnvOid=4115

This package will enable you to discover and poll the server using a root like account. SMH is depricated since the 5.x version.
