Hitachi Dynamic Link Manager Software Users Guide for VMWare

A remote management client can run on a machine in the same LAN as the
host, or on a guest OS installed on the host itself.
VMware vSphere CLI 5.0/5.1/5.5 is a prerequisite program for a remote
management client. Make sure that VMware vSphere CLI is installed before
installing HDLM.
