Announcing the Hyperic VMware Appliance

We've always been great at giving our customers the ability to manage their VMware servers and guest VM’s, but now we’ve taken the extra step of creating a ready-to-run VMware appliance.

Basic platform: Debian 4.0

HQ version: 3.0.5-417 OS

Basic install:

• 
  
• Have VMware player installed (or server)
• 
  
  
• Start the appliance and login either as root or hyperic, with the password “hqadmin”. After logging in, you should see a message displaying your local Web URL for HQ, plus the username and password. (note: there’s a small chance that you might see an incorrect URL. If it contains "127.0.0.1" you'll have to replace that with the machine's real address.)
• 
  
  
• The appliance needs 764mb memory + about 3 gigs drive space. Debian is setup on a preallocated 1gig partition, HQ is setup on an allocate-as-you go 1 gig partition mounted in /home. The HQ mount can be resized as needed.
