  • 1.  Can we add a VM Manager into License Metric Tool which, can be accessed through a Windows Jumpbox

    Posted Mon April 12, 2021 11:13 AM

    We have a Sterling B2B software installed on a RHEL 7.6 Machine on a Virtual Machine hosted on vCenter 6.7 Machine but, we have to access a vCenter 6.7 only after logging into a Windows Jumpbox.

    Question 1- Can we add a Jumpbox and vCenter as VM manager for this setup?

    Question 2 - Is this supported for LMT Version 9?

    Question 3 - If it's not supported, how should we scan the VM.

    Q1: BigFix agent has to be able reach BigFix server from VM using 52311 port. Also VM Manager tool needs to read data from vCenter. It means the Jumpbox doesn't matter until the mentioned components can communicate.

    Q2: VMware v6.7 is supported:

    BigFix Agent installed on the VM is inside teh network and can communicate with the BifFix Server.

    But, VM Manager tool cannot read data from vCenter as it's outside network.

    You should install VM Manager Tool in please where you may reach vCenter. The server with the tool should also has got a BigFix agent installed, so it could send collected data to BigFix server.

    In case such installation is not possible, you have count full capacity manually for all IBM software deployed on the vCenter machines.

    Sure; Could you please send me the link for VM Manager Tool software files as well as BigFix Agent files for Windows Server 2012 R2 (our Jumpbox where vCenter is accessible).


    Our LMT version 9.2.12 and all our BigFx Client/Servers are on RHEL OS
