I just downloaded, installed, and configured iLO Amplifier Pack version 1.30 which is the newest. We want to use the Amplifer Pack to add our HPE servers into Infosight. This downloads as an OVA file that can be pulled into ESXi. I pulled it into ESXi 6.7 Update 1 and when completed it said that this VM did not have VMWare Tools installed.
VMWare's best practice is to have VMWare Tools installed on all VMs. I have loaded quite a few pre-made VMs into VMWare via OVA files. Typically the makers of the appliance (OVA) file install VMWare Tools before packaging up the VM. It appears there is no way for the end user to install VMWare Tools because you cannot get to the unix/linux command line for this product. Why doen't HPE have VMWare Tools already installed?
