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.

From the

Home page, click

Global Inventory Lists

Under

Resources

, click

Hosts

Select a host where you want to deploy ESX agent virtual machines.

Click the

Configure

tab to display configuration information for the host.

Select

Agent VM Settings

and click

Edit

in the top right corner.

From the

Datastore

drop-down menu, select a datastore in which to deploy the ESX agent virtual machines.

From the

Network

drop-down menu, select a network to connect the ESX agents.

Click

You configured the network and datastore for the

host where you want to deploy ESX agent virtual machines. You configured the IP address management so that

can allocate IP addresses to ESX agent virtual machines.
