Before installing Agent with the USB or serial connection, make sure that the platform running the Agent supports

USB or serial connection. VMware ESXi 4.1 and later versions support a USB device to be passed through from an

ESXi host to vMA.

Note: In order to make sure that Agent on vMA of the ESXi host can establish communication with UPS through USB

connection, you should upgrade virtual hardware to the latest version. Refer to How do I upgrade virtual hardware

version of vMA of FAQ chapter from PowerPanel Business Edition User Manual to know how to upgrade.

Note: In order to allow the interactions between physical and virtual machines, VMware tools have to be installed on

each virtual machine. Refer to VMware ESX/ESXi Server documentation for further information about VMware Tools.

Installation on ESX

Installation must be launched in the Service Console (aka Console Operation System). To initiate the installation

procedure on VMware ESX also requires root permission. Use the same command to mount CD and initiate the

installation procedure.

Before installing Agent with the USB connection, make sure the host supports USB connection. ESX 4.1 does support

USB devices. Refer to Installation on Text Mode section to complete the installation.

Virtual Appliance Deployment on ESXi

A virtual appliance (VA) is a prebuilt software solution, comprised of one or more virtual machines that is packaged,

maintained, updated and managed as a unit. It is fundamentally changing how software is developed, distributed,

deployed and managed.

Download the PPBE virtual appliance which is pre-installed Agent and Client from CyberPower. In order to deploy the

PPBE virtual appliance on VMware ESXi host, users must install vSphere Client tool on another remote computer

first. To download vSphere Client tool, users can enter the ESXi host IP address to access web page of ESXi host.

The deployment procedure will be initiated as below steps:
