Located on the Agent Proxy:
[drive:]\Program Files\VMware\VCM\Tools\Virtualization\<machine>_ssh_public_key.txt
Located on the Collector:
[drive:]\Program Files\VMware\VCM\Tools\Virtualization\csiprep.py
[drive:]\Program Files\VMware\VCM\Tools\Virtualization\csiprep.config
2. On the ESX/vSphere Servers, add the files in Service Console Operating System. For example, add the
files to the /tmp directory.
Running Scripts on the ESX/vSphere Server
NOTE A Deployment Tool is available from VMware Customer Support to assist you with the following
process for ESX 3.x/vSphere 4 and ESXi. To use the tool, contact VMware Customer Support; otherwise,
follow the steps in the following procedure.
On the ESX/vSphere Servers:
1. Log on to the ESX/vSphere Server Service Console Operating System as root.
2. Go to the directory location where you copied the files from the Collector.
3. Modify the csiprep.config file as follows:
n
Set the CSI_USER variable to the name of the connection account (new or existing). This is the
account that will be used for SSH collections. Example: CSI_USER = csi_acct
n
