Open Putty and SSH to the ESX Host that you just uploaded the .tgz to.
Login and su –
Next we want to move the .tgz to the /Home dir using the following command: mv /vmfs/volumes/<Datastore Name you noted on section 5>/hpmgmt-8.3.1-vmware4x.tgz /home
cd /home
Run the following command: tar xvzf hpmgmt-8.3.1-vmware4x.tgz
Navigate into the directory: cd hpmgmt/831 (This dir name may change with version numbers)
Make a copy of hpmgmt.conf.example: cp hpmgmt.conf.example hpmgmt.conf
Edit the new conf file: nano hpmgmt.conf
Edit the conf file, the only parts you need to change are highlighted in red below.
