I'm running 6 x ESXi 5.0 hosts on HP BL460c blades (a mix of G6 and G7's)
I'm attempting to get better h\w status info by installing the HP ESXi Management Bundle using Update Manager.
I've configured the UM to download the vibs directly from the HP depot. Examining the Patch Reposity show this has been successful.
I've created a dynamic Host Patch baseline to include patches from the 'Hewlett-Packard Company' vendor (product any, Severity any, category any. Currently showing 23 patches in the baseline). I attached it to the datacenter containing the hosts. I've scanned and remediated. Re-scanning gives me a nice green tick. So far so good, however ..
If I look on the Hardware Status tab I can't see anymore info (i gather I should see extra sensors related to power and storage? Not sure)
I'm also implementing HP Insight Manger for Vcenter. In vsphere Client, when I select a host and then the HP Insight Mangement tab I get 'This program cannot display the webpage'. This might be a seperate issue :-(
Is there a way to prove the HP agents are installed \ returning info?
Thanks
