Configure the Virtual Infrastructure for ESX Agent Deployment

Before the EAM Sample Solution can deploy ESX agents on
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
system to configure the network and datastore on which to deploy ESX agent virtual machines on this
instance.
  1. From the
    Home page, click
    Global Inventory Lists
    .
  2. Under
    Resources
    , click
