Before the EAM
Sample Solution can deploy ESX agents on ESXi hosts, you must configure the
virtual infrastructure so that vSphere can assign networks and datastores to
the ESX agent virtual machines.
You must set the ESX Agent
Manager properties on a
vCenter Server
system to configure the network and datastore on which to deploy ESX agent
virtual machines on this
vCenter Server
instance.
Procedure
1 | From the
vSphere Web
Client Home page, click
vCenter
Inventory Lists.
|
2 | Under
Resources, click
Hosts.
|
3 | Select a host where you
want to deploy ESX agent virtual machines.
|
4 | Click the
Manage tab to
display configuration information for the host.
|
5 | Click
Settings.
|
6 | Select
Agent VM
Settings and click
Edit in the top

|
7 | From the
Datastore drop-down
menu, select a datastore in which to deploy the ESX agent virtual machines.
|
8 | From the

|
9 | Click
OK.
|
You configured the network and
datastore for the ESXi host where you want to deploy ESX agent virtual
machines. You configured the IP address management so that
vCenter Server
can allocate IP addresses to ESX agent virtual machines.
