Step by Step: Installing HP SIM on ESX4.0

Today I have installed HP SIM on BL460C G6 .  I followed my earlier blog and little bit of change in answer script.

First of all you need to download correct SIM agent for your hardware. So select the your server model  and then from “Software – System Management ” page download correct tar (hpmgmt-8.3.1-vmware4x.tgz)file. Follow the blog till steps 13.
