View the EAM Sample Solution in vCenter Server Extensions

After you start the EAM Sample Solution in an application server, it appears in vCenter Server Extensions in the vSphere Client. You can monitor, manage, and configure the EAM Sample Solution and use it to deploy ESX agents.

When you start the EAM Sample Solution, it registers itself as a vCenter Server extension with the vCenter Server instance that you configured in the eamri.properties file. The sample solution also registers itself as a vCenter Server solution with ExtensionManager.
