hey guys I am new to the ESXi Vmware command line but am picking things up quickly.
we have a UPS that runs all our servers and I am wanting to add my ESXi server to the UPS auto shut-down in the event of a power failure,
following this guide http://www.petenetlive.com/KB/Article/0000275.htm
when I get to the command line after placing the software in the /etc/power
I type -
~ # cd /etc/power
/etc/power # ./SetupRA
then the shell returns
./SetupRA: line 172; rpm: not found
more: -c: no such file or directory
Do you accept the terms of licence agreement? [Yes/no] ( I type Yes )
Installing Hp Power Manger Remote Agent
./SetupRA: eval: line 1: rpm: not found
./SetupRA: exit: line 1: illegal number: -1
any suggestions on what I need to do? can ESXi read RPM format natively or do I need to install any additional things on the server before running this?
Many Thanks.
Gordon
