Sure. It was an "rpm -e". I can easily re-install it with "rpm -ivh" ... once they tell me where to go and get the RPMs ... those files are not listed as a separate downloads at HP. Nor will it help with the Management Agent install problem .... I have 4 other ESX hosts still running on 8.6.0, and there's not a chance in the world I am upgrading those. At least they are still working; the other 2 are not (from an HP Management and monitoring perspective; VMware is chugging along happily ...). > > We switched to ESXi a while back, so I haven't done the full agent install in > a long time. :( > > DAMIEN SOLODOW > Systems Engineer > 317.447.6033 (office) > 317.447.6014 (fax) > HARRISON COLLEGE > > -----Original Message----- > From: Mike Leone [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Tuesday, July 12, 2011 10:03 AM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: OT - problems installing HP Management Agents on VMware ESX 4.1 > > I realize this is more than a bit OT, and I do have a tech support case > opened with HP.
