I think you probably need to go back to this vendor and ask them what more modern and supported solutions they have, because the Hyperic functionality has basically been rolled into vRealize Operations Manager (vROps) in the form of Endpoint Operations (EpOps) agents. It's possible they have adapted their older Hyperic plug-in to be available with vROps.
Hyperic is essentially dead. 5.8.6 was more than a year ago and was only a maintenance release at that. Why would you want to do a fresh install–on any platform–at this point?
Thanks for your reply. Certain enterprise software that I work with built a specific plugin that only works with Hyperic, and they require it of their customers. Do you know if a Hyperic plugin can be used with a more modern Hyperic replacement? I did notice the last release of Hyperic was a couple of years ago.
