HP service pack for Proliant with ESXi 5.0

I'm not so familiar with the Proliant servies, we just received our DL360 a few days ago.

I went to HPs Software Delivery Repository, read through the getting started guide and read the FAQ and ended up having additional sources.list files with allowed me to simply run aptitude install hp-health hp-snmp-agents.

Prior running bootstrap.sh I had to install the lsb-release package and then lib32gcc1 because I've installed Lenny amd64 (but that's covered in the FAQ).

The command I ran was: sh bootstrap.sh ProLiantSupportPack

I would strongly advise you NOT to do this at all, the whole point of VMWare dropping ESX in favour of an ESXi-only product set was to discourage 'in-host' additions and tinkering. They want us to just build our hosts and leave them alone, something I personally understand, adhere to and encourage.

I don't know what you're actually trying to achieve but I'm sure you could get to that point using supported tools thus leaving your hosts to do what they do unfettled.
