VIMA for 64 bits

[abufa]

Hi.

I don't know if the is a Appliance of VIMA for 32 bits computers.

How can I run this appliance in a 32 bits computer?

Thanks.

VIMA can only be run on an ESX server that supports 64-bit virtual machines. (For more information see the VIMA release notes or documentation.)

A 32-bit appliance for Remote CLI 3.5U2 is available (although it's not recommedned for production use).

Can I do the same things with the appliance with the RCLI and VIMA?

I don´t work yet with the RCLI but I have in my list of future things to do.

Thanks.

The RCLI appliance can do many of the things that can be done with VIMA. You can run RCLI scripts in either; you can also install RCLI into your own Linux or Windows VM or physical machine.

Both the RCLI appliance and VIMA can be used to run RCLI & VI Perl Toolkit scripts.

Some of the features included in VIMA include but not in the RCLI Appliance include:

- component for caching authentication

- component for collecting ESX log files

- VIMA is designed to host agents that will be released by some 3rd party developers

- VIMA is supported for production use

- VIMA includes a mechanism for VMware to provide updates, if needed
