The VMware ESX 3.5 console does not support Xwindows, which is required to
display Graphical User Interface (GUI) applications on UNIX platforms.

can connect remotely to the qlremote running on the ESX server and manage
adapters on the ESX server.

1. Install the FC HBA Manager on the ESX server using the following CLI
command in silent mode:
sh ./standalone_sansurfer5.0.1bxx_linux_install.bin –i
silent –DSILENT_INSTALL_SET="QMSJ_G_LA_x86"
where xx is the build number.
2. Start the portmap service on the ESX server. For example, enter the
following command:
/sbin/portmap
3. Start qlremote on the ESX server. For example, enter the following
command:
/usr/local/bin/qlremote
4. On a Windows server, install the SANsurfer FC HBA Manager (Windows
5.0.1bxx) client, as described for Windows installations. (See
