Can I install rsync utility on SRM vApp??
Part of Custom Property Tagging I need to send few files remotely using a script to SRM vApp Collector Server, i'm wanting to use rsync but observed that utility is not present in the vApp.
Is there a way I can install? Also i'm unable to run any rpm install command - is it blocked by EMC, if so - how can i get rsync installed.
No Events found!

EMC does not support end-user install of RPMs onto vApp packages. An enhancement request should be filed to have the rsync utility added to the vmutils package.

With 3.7 and above a bunch of packages are available (net-snmp, tcpdump, sar, instat, etc.) while not installed by default.
In order to install them you can use : /opt/emc/vmutils/bin/vmutils-manager.sh
Unfortunately rsync is not available, I would advise you to open an enhancement request with your use-case so we can add it.

I see there are only 6 packages available under “vmutils-manager.sh”, If I can find an RSYNC rpm package from external site – what is the procedure to install it?

Find out what version of SuSE you have
cat /etc/SuSE-release
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64)
VERSION = 11
PATCHLEVEL = 3
I have SRM 371 and this has SUSE 11 SP3 so I need to download the following ISOs you will need to get the ISO for your version... something like rsync will likely be on DVD1
SLES-11-SP3-DVD-x86_64-GM-DVD1.iso 29-Nov-2013 12:58 3G
SLES-11-SP3-DVD-x86_64-GM-DVD2.iso 29-Nov-2013 13:05 5G
Mount DVD1 to the VM from vSphere Console then do this on the VM
