vmware-ccagent and VMware-vpx, do we need both?

[Tecnics]

Hi, I got both of vmware-ccagent and VMware-vpxa running on ESX Server 2.5.2.

Some other ESXs are running without ccagent, only vpxa.

I believe vpxa is nessesaraly, so is it not problem to uninstall ccagent?

Don't we have any document describing each services?

Thanx

ccagent is the VC management agent for ESX 2.x servers connected to VC 1.x, when you connect a ESX 2.x server to VC 2.x it installs the vmware-vpxa agent. What version are your other ESX servers, I think ccagent was only used on certain versions of 2.5.x

Eric, thank you for your reply.

All the servers are 2.5.2.

If the servers are connected to VC2 x then only vpxa is needed?

Thanks

ccagent is needed on all ESX 2.x hosts. vpxa connects to it to manage the host and vms on it.

Thanx .

Some of my 2.5.2 ESXs are running without ccagent.

I've heard that if ccagent is not installed, httpd? or something do the job for it.

Is it true that ccagent is nessesarally for 2.5.2?

Thanx

Starting with 2.5.2 serverd replaced ccagent.
