DPA 6.1 Linux agent installation
I need to install the linux agent on a esxi host, but i have this error:
/vmfs/volumes/4fba7a4d-13f07618-d71f-e4115bb7c21f # ./DPA-Agent-Linux-x86_64-6.1.1.96.bin
Preparing to install...
Extracting the JRE from the installer archive...
Unpacking the JRE...
gzip: /tmp/install.dir.931150/Linux/resource/vm.tar.Z: unknown suffix - ignored
./DPA-Agent-Linux-x86_64-6.1.1.96.bin: line 697: uncompress: not found
gzip: /tmp/install.dir.931150/Linux/resource/vm.tar.Z: unknown suffix - ignored
The included VM could not be uncompressed (GZIP/UNCOMPRESS). Please try to
download the installer again and make sure that you download using 'binary'
mode. Please do not attempt to install this currently downloaded copy.
Thanks & Regards,
Cristian

Hi Cristian.
The DPA Agent is not designed to be installed on the ESXi host as far as I know. If you check the compatibility guide you will see it is only supported for installation on RedHat 5.0, 6.0, 6.2, 6.4 and SUSE Linux 11.
Why are you wanting to install it on the ESXi host? There may be another way to achieve what you're trying to do.

The good news is that you don't need to install an agent on the ESXi host to monitor the virtual hosts - you can use any other DPA Agent in your environment.
The details on how to configure this is on page 60 of the DPA 6.1.1 Installation and Administration Guide in a section called "Monitoring VMware Environment". You can download this document from https://support.emc.com/docu53643_Data_Protection_Advisor_6.1_SP1_Installation_and_Administration_Guide.pdf?language=en_…
