2. Download pywbem-0.7.0.tar.gz from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywbem/files/pywbem/pywbem-0.7/
3. tar –xvf pywbem-0.7.0.tar.gz
4. cd pywbem-0.7.0.tar.gz
5. python setup.py build
6. python setup.py install

[GCC 4.3.4] on linux2
Type “help”, “copyright”, “credits” or “license” for more information.
>>> import pywbem
>>>
8. srvmon-Bellakt plugins # ./check_esx_wbem.py https://10.1.1.xxx:5989 root password
if you get the following error (i was testing on a virtual machine)
Traceback (most recent call last):
