HP SIM Agents for ESX 2.5

[William_114]

I have spent quite some time looking for Insight agents to install on an ESX server. I can only find versions for ESX 2.1. Will these agents work on ESX 2.5, if not does anyone know when agents for 2.5 might be available?

Releases are synchronized around new product introductions. ESX 2.5 came out after the release of SmartStart 7.1 and its associated drivers/agents. Expect 2.5 support to pick up with 7.2 which shouldn't be too much longer (release cycle times are generally 9-12 weeks and 7.1 came out in October -- you do the math).

The current 7.1 agents do in fact install on ESX 2.5 but some issues have been observed and it isn't supported. BTW, VMware ESX is now featured as a choice in the OS dropdown on the ProLiant download page at http://www.hp.com/servers/swdrivers
