Its smell like... ESX Server 3i start replacing ESX Server 3...

[mitvix]

ESX Server 3i smell like a little start of the new generation of ESX Server´s... Without Red Hat 7 or hiding it a little more.

Or, I am missed?

Somebody have something to say about?

Wait just a few days, I'm sure there will be LOTS coming out of VMWorld 2007 in regards to this.

It's not Rh 7. That was esx 2.x. It's RHEL 3 and maybe they are getting cheap. Do they really think that reading fan speed compares with reading bad memory or alerts from openmanage or similar? I suppose it doesn't matter if you are running a cluster and it craps out, but I've gone in and found serious errors and updates as a result from keeping openmanage on the console. I say give it to us and we'll let you know how it pans out. Problem is that they are getting cheap with NFR / demo usage.

are you saying you have issues with dell openmanage being installed on esx v3?

Nope...he's saying that you can't install openmanage (or SIM or Director agents) on ESX 3i...at least not yet.

So what is the plan?

Will SIM have code redeveloped to talk to the new CIM elements exposed on vmware?

Will HP (and other vendors) have SIM preinstalled in the new service console (the VM)?

Or hasthe day of ESX agents gone, all remote calls?

Or... will HP come out with Virtual Appliances that have special permissions to talk to the hardware?

[Ken_Cline]

Don't know (and couldn't tell you if I did ... ) - but my personal opinion is that there will have to be some way for vendors to provide the low-level, detailed monitoring and management capabilities for the hardware before 3i will be generally accepted/deployed in large enterprise environments.
