Registering VM Agents/Hosts in SIM 5.1

[Stefan Laemmer]

Hi,
I am a Newbie at VM Hosts in SIM, so bear with me, please. We just deployed 3 VM Servers and while they all registered in SIM normally, and are identified as Linux - VMWare ESX Servers, i cant seem to register them as VMAgents (Configure - Virtual Machine Host Registration - Register VM Host).

It runs the tool (vmm_register.bat), but completes with failure:
"Agent registration failed! - VM ServerIP#

The VMM agent cannot be connected or is locked to another service. Install the VMM agent or unregister it from the other CMS."

Am i missing something ? We installed the HP SIM Agents for Linux v7.70 on all VM Hosts and SIM is running Virtual Machine Management Pack 2.1.. What agents do i need to install if any?..

Tia!
Stefan

Tried to installe/Deploy the Agents from SIM (Deploy - Deploy Drivers, Firmware and Agents - Install VMM Agent - Linux)

Failed..
"SSH public key authentication failed"



Is it possible to run this without SSH ? I hate SSH.. ;)
