This tool is used to deploy the HP ProLiant Essentials Virtual Machine Management Pack agent on the target Virtual Machine (VM) hosts. Multiple VM hosts can be selected to deploy the agent. This agent enables HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) to identify, through the HP ProLiant Essentials Virtual Machine Management Pack server, whether the server is a VM host.

You must have limited or full-configuration-rights to perform this procedure.

OpenSSH must be installed on Windows servers before the VMM agent can be deployed from the central management server (CMS). Refer to Tools that Extend Management - Installing OpenSSH for information on installing OpenSSH.
