Configuration:

OS: ESX3i
Dell 2960 (2U rack server)

I've installed the following softwares on Windows machine:

HP-SIM v5.2
Virtual Server 2.5.0

I've discover ESX3i using Virtual Center server.

As part of integration of HP-SIM, i've installed VMM:3.5.

I'm interested in 2 aspects in discovering ESX host using HP-SIM.

I'm trying to configure ESX host to allow HP-SIM ports as follows:

(a.)

1.) Enable port 2301 incoming (this is a temporary change
#esxcfg-firewall -o 2301,tcp,in,HPSIM
2.) Identify the ESX Server within HPSIM (Options -> Identify Systems...
3.) Disable port 2301 incoming
#esxcfg-firewall -c 2301,tcp,in

None of the above commands are found in ESX3i server. Could there be any way to configure them?

(b.) I've also installed integration tools for HP-SIM

HP-SIM v5.2
VMM 3.5.

I'm trying to configure VMM, by following steps:

Transferred the follwing files from the HPSIM server to ESX Server:
C:\Program Files\HP\Virtual Machine Management Pack\Agents\Linux\hpvmmagent.tar

C:\Program Files\HP\Virtual Machine Management Pack\lib\cms.ce

C:\Program Files\HP\Virtual Machine Management Pack\bin\importcert.sh

On the ESX console Following steps not able to perform, because it says not enough space to perform

1. tar -xf hpvmmagent.tar

~ # tar -xvf hpvmmagent.tar

hpvmmagent-4.5.0.2036-esx.i386.rpm

tar: Write Error: No space left on device

tar: Invalid tar magic

2. chmod +x hpvmmagent.sh

3. sudo hpvmagent.sh

4. sudo cp cms.cer /root

5. sudo ./importcert.sh

~ # df
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
unknown 187448 18014381329828908 17179840524 0% /

I'm surprised to see this message. So I cleared all the logs, (var/log/...) but still the problem persists.

I'm interested to know:

Is my understanding of configuring VMM is correct? Is that possible way of doing? If yes, How to over come the above problem?

Thanks,
