3. Click Go.
4. On the VMware ESX/ESXi download page under Management Tools, click
SANsurfer FC HBA Manager (x86/x64).
5. On the End User Software License Agreement page, click Agree.
6. Save the zipped file, and then use it to install SANsurfer FC HBA Manager
by following the installation wizard.
7. Install the qlremote agent on your ESX host using silent mode as follows:
# ./standalone_sansurfer5.0.1b33_linux_install.bin -i silent
The qlremote agent and SANsurfer FC HBA Manager uses their respective
system’s “hostname” to identify each other. When an asynchronous event
occurs on the ESX Host, a notification is sent to the remote SANsurfer FC
HBA Manager so that the GUI can refresh its information. For this to work,
use root/admin privileges to complete the next steps.
8. Determine the system “hostname” based on the operating system:
For ESX/Linux, execute the following command:
$ hostname
For Windows, follow these steps:
a. Click Start, and then click Run.
b. In the Run dialog box, type cmd, and then click OK.
