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 | Click the
Hosts and
Clusters icon, or choose
vCenter> vCenter Home >
Hosts and Clusters in the left navigation menu. Double-click the
name of the ESXi server, click
Hosts in the left
navigation menu, and then choose the name of the Host where you want to deploy
ESX agent virtual machines.

2 | Click
Manage to display
configuration information for the host.
|
3 | Click

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.
