All,
I am no expert in ESXi and still not clear on it's inner mechanism. I have a weird question.
On top of ESXi, I am running two linux instances, and now I need to monitor both the linux instances along with the underlying hardware too. I wrote a java script which will monitor both linux instances and underlying hardware itself. Now, I am little bit worried about cpu/mem consumption by this script if I run it in linux box, and hence i would like to know, if, by any means it is possible to run this java script in ESXi? Since java is platform independent, I thought having jre in ESXi would do and hence I tried installing jre in ESXi and so.. But it just don't work.. So, i believe it's impossible? ESXi is hypervisor which will allocate resources to instances that run on top of it, but not for itself? Is my understanding right?
