vSphere ESX Agent Manager
vSphere ESX Agent Manager
vSphere ESX Agent Manager
automates the process of deploying and managing vSphere ESX agents. The services that ESX Agent Manager provides include
out-of-the-box integration of agents with vSphere features such as DRS,
AddHost
, High
Availability, DRM, and maintenance mode. Each of these features can be difficult to
integrate manually. ESX Agent Manager allows you to monitor the health of ESX
agents. You can also block users from performing certain operations on ESX agents
that might affect the virtual machines that use them. For example, ESX Agent Manager
can prevent an ESX agent virtual machine from being powered off or moved from an
ESXi
host that contains other virtual
machines that use that agent. ESX Agent Manager adds an
ESX Agencies
entry to the table of contents under the Configure
tab of vSphere ESX Agent Manager
. The ESX Agencies
tab shows information about running agencies, lists any orphaned ESX agents, and logs information about the ESX agents that ESX Agent Manager manages.
