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.
