Requirements for itegrating a solution with ESX Agent Manager

To integrate with ESX Agent Manager, a solution must meet certain requirements.

• Use Open Virtualization Format (OVF) to package ESX agent virtual machines or vApps. ESX Agent Manager only supports the deployment of virtual machines using OVF.
• Use HTTP or HTTPS to publish OVF files to ESX Agent Manager.
• Use vSphere installation bundles (VIB) to add functions to ESXi hosts, for example to add VMkernel modules or custom ESX Server applications to ESXi hosts.
