Known issues
- On some Linux VMware plugin not working
in my case : 64 bit RHEL, Centos, SUSE
hyperic-hq-agent-4.0.1/log/agent.log:
...
[ProductPluginManager] Loading plugin: vmware-plugin.jar

Resolution:
Install openssl-devel packages.
example on Centos/RHEL: yum install openssl-devel
After you installed this package, restart HQ Agent. Check agent.log file, if no ERROR you fixed succesfully!
- Auto Discovery cant recognise your VMware server 1.x on Linux when VMware installed from RPM
in my case : 64 bit RHEL, Centos, SUSE
The Problem is: missing libvmcontrol-helper file from VMware RPM version
Resolution:
Download VMware tar.gz version from vmware.com.
Extract following file from gz:
vmware-server-distrib/lib/bin/libvmcontrol-helper
copy to your vmware usr bin directory default to: /usr/lib/vmware/bin
Restart your HQ agent.
Try run new autodiscovery!
