Installing Virtual Center

Actually, the first I install on a new VM is Firefox. Duh.

Once that is done, I went to the IP address of the ESX machine. It gives you the option of installing vSphere  Client, which is what we will use here.

I downloaded and installed it. Great.

Where are the ISOs to install VMs with. Checking with coworker...

After updating stuff

The Linux machines running Negatus need these packages:

sudo apt-get install git g++ libnspr4-dev

You can then clone it, build it, and run it:

mkdir src
cd src
git clone https://github.com/mozilla/Negatus
cd Negatus
make -f Makefile.linux
./agent

When you run the agent, it looks like this:

%  ./agent
Command handler listening on 0.0.0.0:20701
Heartbeat handler listening on 0.0.0.0:20700
Query url: IPADDR=0.0.0.0%3A20701&NAME=SUTAgent
No SUTAgent.ini data.
No reboot callback data.

That's great. Ctrl-C to quit, shutdown the VM, copy or clone it, and then launch both agents. Next task: Networking
