Installing Inventory only agent on VMWare ESXi

Hello,
did anybody manage to install the Inventory-only-Agent (V 11.2.3) on a
VMWare ESXi 5.1-Server? We would like to collect the inventory data for
our CMDB. When i start the installation i get the follwoing errors:
/tmp # ./zenumia-install.sh -s mycollectionserver
Collection Server is mycollectionserver
installing zenumia to /opt/novell/zenworks/umia
../zenumia-install.sh: line 188: arch: not found
unrecognized OS, not setting SIPLATFORM
OS tagged as unknown, sysinfo package is mcsysinfo-noui-10-.sh
../zenumia-install.sh: line 223: whoami: not found
user is
Must be root to install. Aborting install.
So there are some needed commands like "whoami" missing and the OS ist
unknown.
I tried to collect the inventory data via a Discovery task, but the
collected information is quite poor. No vendor-specific Hardware info, etc.
Kind regards,
Thomas

UIACONFIG & Inventory only agent.

Does anyone have any idea on how to get the proper uiaconfig.xml file into the packaged inventory only agent. The problem is that when the agent runs it has a blank file and doesn't report back. I would think this would kind of be a default that I am missing, but if not the answer may be just to create a custom MSI that runs.
The reason for this, is that in our environment we want the ability to push the inventory agent out via login script to get all workstations during our ongoing deployment of the full ZCM agent.

Inventory Only Agent 11.2.3a for AIX 7

Hi: Someone has installed the inventory only 11.2.3a on AIX 7.1?
Is supported? I saw in the documentation of 11.2 which is only supported on AIX 6.1...
The Comments are welcome... Sergio.

I note subject includes "11.2.3" - presumably you're aware that was
pulled and we're awaiting 11.2.3a?
I'm also guessing that by "10.8" you don't mean 10.8.0 so which version
of 10.8 are you testing? 10.8.x
Are you hosting ZENworks on Windows Server or Linux? I don't think it
matters but I can test against ZENworks on Linux.

Install CUCM 8.6 on VMWARE ESXi 5.0 Failed

Dear All,
I want to install CUCM 8.6 on Virtual Machine. I'm using VMWARE ESXi 5.0 version for the VM server.
The installation CUCM 8.6 failed with error says:
"the hardware you are using is not supported for this prodcut"
I already disable LRO on the host ESXi 5.0, but still failed.
is need to install the VMTOOLs before I install CUCM?
CUCUM 8.6 support VMWARE Version ESXi 5.0?
Thanks
Regards,
Krisna

Actually for CUCM 8.5 and before it's RHEL 4, for CUCM 8.6 it's RHEL 5 (32 bit).
I used the available OVA for my lab and it worked fine:
1 vCPU
2304 MB RAM
80 GB HDD
Not sure about compatibility with ESXi 5 and the VM machine v8 but above works for ESXi 4.1.
If it still doesn't work, try using the same settings as you would in a ESXi 4.1 install.

Remotely installing the Inventory Only Module

Version 11.3
I want to install the inventory only module to multiple windows devices. The only documentation I can find states you have to download the agent and install at the windows device. https://www.novell.com/documentation...deployment.pdf. Is there a way to install this module using the ZENworks console? I can't seem to find it. Deployment task is only set to to install the ZENworks Adaptive Agent.
Thanks,
Bill

I also like to point out that the Discovery tool is not designed to be
the only way or even necessarily the main way of pushing agents.
Login Scripts, AD Scripts, or any other management tool can push the
agents (If you don't have any management tools, you should be
considering the full product.)
Even a Scripted PSEXEC would work for you, but only in theory.
The issue is that by default, Non-Domain Joined PCs will not permit
remote software installation unless you perform quite a bit of manual
configuration. So if your PCs are not in a domain and you have no
management tools, you will need to visit the PC to manually configure it
to allow a remote push at a future time that you hope the PC may be
powered on and not in use. So if you are going to do all that work, it
would only make sense to install the agent while you are there at that time.
In my mind, the Discovery and Deployment tool is best for discovering
straggler devices missing the agent and less at deploying since there
are so many limitations due to the very nature of basic default Windows
security.
The best bet in my mind is to try and figure out a way to use your
current management methods, even if they are as simple as logon scripts,
to push/pull down the agent instead of trying to remotely access the PC
in the hopes it is on, since that method has a whole series of hurdles
that are tough to overcome.

Inventory Only 10.2.1 on SLES10

Two servers with Inventory Only Agent 10.2.1:
1. HP ProLiant DL320 G5 with SLES10 SP2 (64 bit)
2. HP NetServer LH3 with SLES10 SP2 (32 bit)
In reports:
1. "Total Memory: 0 MB" - is not easy-to-use.
2. "Last Scan Date: 6:33 PM" = Local Time + 3 (?). I have not understood.
The time setting of all servers is GMT+3. Why does it add 3 hours to Local time?

Can CUCM 8.5 version be installed on a DL 380 G5 server in Virtual environment (Vmware Esxi 4.0 or 4.1)? Or does it have to be only installed in UCS boxes for VMware?

Can CUCM 8.5 version be installed on a DL 380 G5 server in Virtual environment (Vmware Esxi 4.0 or 4.1)? Or does it have to be only installed in UCS boxes for VMware?
1. If the installation is possible for the Vmware instance on a DL 380 G5/G6 server , will that be supported by Cisco ?
Similary is the case with CUIC 8.5. Has anybody worked on these do suggest ideas.

Virtualized UC applications from Cisco are only supported on the UC on UCS platform using ESXi 4.0, 4.0 Update 1, or 4.1 - hypervisor support may vary based on application.

Installing CUEAC on VMware ESXi

we have two UCS C210 M2 machines
running CUCM in cluster (1 pub 1 sub) and Unity in cluster , and one is running CUPS as well .
i would like to install CUEAC on a VM i would create on one of the machines
some questions:
1. is it OK to install CUEAC on same ( physical) machine as CUCM?
2. in the CUEAC admin guide there is only a reference to "Cisco Unified Attendant Server is only supported in a live environment on VMware ESXi 4.0 running
on Cisco UCS B200M1 hardware" is this info up to date ?.
any other advice would be usefull
thanks

No it is not, attendant console 9.0 is Windows based just like previous versions, see the data sheet:

Best to file a support ticked with VMware about this; they can help you debug and fault isolate the problem. I suspect a CPU cache problem but that is purest speculation.

Can i use free VMWare ESXi for commercial use.?

Hi,
I know that this question have come up before but I can't find any
definitive answers. Can i use free VMWare ESXi for commercial use. We
would like to host
several customers on a machine running VMWare ESXi. I want a clear answer so we can do it without any further discussion.
Thank you all in advance,
LNN

If you plan on renting out a VM, then you need to look at the hosting programs - http://www.vmware.com/solutions/hosting/index.html. The base EULA for ESX and ESXi do not allow for the rental of VMs but I believe it may be possible to get an exemption to that.

Installing oracle management agent 12.1.0.2.0 in silent mode.

version: 12.1.0.2.0

I installed the oracle management service along with the oracle management agent that comes along with the the first installation. I deinstalled the first installed OMA and tried to install it again using the silent install mode with the response file.
(oms host and the oma host are the same)
among the 3 modes of silent install described in the installation guide, i used agent deploy method.
Here are the steps i followed with the install
1. this the status of my OMS

How do I install a management agent

How do I install a management agent?
I have OMS installed on Server A.
I have server B that I need to manage with OMS, how do I install an agent on that?
There seems to be no clear way of installing an agent, and pointing it to Server A for registration.
I have tried:
1. Downloading the management agent from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/oem/htdocs/agentsoft.html
a. Running the ./runInstaller
b. It fails with missing .rsp files, I've touched .rsp files in order to get the installer to run
c. But it does not give me an option to install an agent, only an 'additional service'
2. The mass installer
a. I unzipped the agent .zip file into the appropriate directory on Server A
b. Modified the agentDownload.linux_x64 file
c. Copied the agentDownload.linux_x64 file to Server B
d. Run the agentDownload script, with -b option
i. The script downloaded some files from Server A
ii. The script quit
I can't seem to find any real documentation on how to do this that actually makes sense and works.
I only need to install the agent on a few servers, so I don't need any mass install, surely, how hard can it be?

Here is some output from agentDownload

How to move from vmware ESXi 5.5 to Hyper-V 2012 R2 on same hardware?

I have Vmware ESXi 5.5 Update 1 with two disks, called RAID0 (3.6 TB) and RAID5 (10.9 TB).
I am tired of having to rebuild ESXi every sixty days for home use so I am planning on moving to Hyper-V, but I'm a little nervous. I don't have swing kit, so will have to repurpose my existing 1 year old quite powerful machine (Intel i7 32 Gb RAM two sets
of RAID storage internal), 3 NICs. Features I need from VMware are:
Ability to snapshot and revert to snapshot (running and stopped VM)
Ability to move VMs between my different storage areas (RAID0 and RAID5)
Ability to set up internal networks to the Hyper-V host so I can set up virtual labs on their own virtual networks
USB pass through to the VM
Auto start VMs with the host.
Auto shut down VMs with the host.
Templating of OSs - mainly Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012 R2, but also Centos 7. Can I convert my ESXi templates to Hyper-V?
Good performance from both Windows and Linux machines
Easy management from a workstation on the network.
Install Hyper-V to USB flash drive plugged in to the server.
Can Hyper-V do all that?
Also, I have a migration plan. Will this work?
In ESXi move all machines for migration from RAID5 to RAID0 storage.
Install Hyper-V on the host to USB flash drive (16 GB)
Format RAID5 storage so it can take vhds. (NTFS?)
Set up networks - have three NICs on the host.
Install management software on my workstation
Convert VMware vmx machines on RAID0 storage to vhd based machines on RAID5 storage. How to do this? My machines vary from v8,9 to vmx10.
Power on VMs and perform checks.
Any comments? I'm particularly concerned about the conversion process from VMware to Hyper-V and the reliability of it. Total size of VMs to convert is just under 3 TB.

Hi Mark. The short answer is yes to all. The more detailed answer is:
Make sure you're installing Windows 2012 R2 on the bare metal. All the following refers to 2012 R2.
I recommend you take some time and go through the
Hyper-V Best Practices Guide
Ability to snapshot and revert to snapshot (running and stopped VM) => yes, standard feature. Keep in mind this is meant to be a short term measure, not something you keep around for long time.
Ability to move VMs between my different storage areas (RAID0 and RAID5) => yes, storage migration is a standard feature that allows you to migrate a VM storage while the VM is running.
Ability to set up internal networks to the Hyper-V host so I can set up virtual labs on their own virtual networks => yes. An external vSwitch is one that's attached to a physical NIC. I recommend you review Hyper-V networking. It's a bit different than
VMWare.
USB pass through to the VM => not exactly. Some work around options exist, including sharing the USB drive on the host.
Auto start VMs with the host => yes, standard VM setting. You get to choose per VM whether to always start, start if it was already running, never start, or start with a given delay.
Auto shut down VMs with the host => yes (like save state) - defined in each VM setting
Templating of OSs - mainly Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012 R2, but also Centos 7. Can I convert my ESXi templates to Hyper-V => yes, native in VMM, plenty of Powershell examples available online. Manual steps in Hyper-V Manager to re-use a
sys-prepped OS image is also available.
Good performance from both Windows and Linux machines => yes, depends mostly on hardware
Easy management from a workstation on the network => yes, from a Win 8.1 workstation, install RSAT
Install Hyper-V to USB flash drive plugged in to the server => yes. 16 GB is a bit small. I recommend a pair of mirrored 128GB SATA SSDs - should be inexpensive.
In ESXi move all machines for migration from RAID5 to RAID0 storage => All you need for migration is the VMDK files for each VM. VM should be offline.
Install Hyper-V on the host to USB flash drive (16 GB) => see recommendation about a pair of boot SSDs above.
Format RAID5 storage so it can take vhds. (NTFS?) => yes, NTFS, 64KB allocation unit
Set up networks - have three NICs on the host => in a single host environment / lab, you'll use 1 NIC on a single external vSwitch I guess. Or you can NIC team them then attach vSwitch to team.
Install management software on my workstation => RSAT on Win 8.1
Convert VMware vmx machines on RAID0 storage to vhd based machines on RAID5 storage. How to do this? My machines vary from v8,9 to vmx10. => try
MVMC 3
Power on VMs and perform checks. => no comment :)
Did I mention the
Hyper-V Best Practice Guide?

How to install Oracle Grid Agent 11g into windows hosts ?

Hi there, I was not able to deploy management agents into windows hosts machines !
I followed steps below and I am getting these errors :
On windows 2003 server, I have downloaded grid agent here :
D:\grid\Windows_X64_Grid_Control_agent_download_11_1_0_1_0\windows_x64\agent
I have setup.exe file ! When I double click it, I got this message :
Only silent installation is supported search help.
Well, I did a lot of times setup.exe -silent -responseFile <path>additional_response.rsp and the setup process tells me that I am not following the security procedures.
I am newbie on Grid!
I don´t want deploy agent using deployment wizard due to security resctrictions, they do not allow openssh servers on windows servers.
Have you guys succeeded with this installation ? I mean, install fresh agent on single target windows server machine!
I would appreciate any help.
Tks.

Edson,
what I would do is go for the cloning option.
On the OMS Server an Agent has been installed as part of the OMS installation.
Stop this Agent
AGENT_HOME/bin/emctl stop agent
Create a zip file from the agent11g folder
Copy it to a server where you want to install the Agent
unzip the folder in the location where you want to install
Restart the Agent you had stopped on your OMS server
AGENT_HOME/bin/emctl start agent
On the destination server
Then from the AGENT_HOME/oui/bin
runInstaller -clone -forceClone ORACLE_HOME=<full path of Agent Folder> ORACLE_HOME_NAME=OracleHomeAgent11g -noconfig -silent b_chainedInstall=false oracle.sysman.top.agent:s_installType=AGENT
Then from AGENT_HOME/bin/agentca -f
AGENT_HOME/root.sh (Under Unix this needs to be run as user root, not sure if this procedure is the same under Windows)
This is based on the procedure described in MOS note : How to Clone a Management Agent And Known Issues [ID 579156.1] which referes to a 10.2.0 Agent, but I have been able to use this procedure under Windows with a 11.1 Agent as well.
Goodluck
Regards
Rob
