So, in response to your questions, they are as follows:
Can I access the LEM console from a web browser: No. It is configured correctly (incase I have gone stupid, I had networks briefly check it). I can ping it. I can't SSH into it (even though SSH is turned on the vm) I can also ping from the LEM server. I can't connect to it on a web browser on the solarwinds server (which has access to almost everything)
So I call it the LEM reporting server. But yes: it's the OVA you execute in Vsphere or hyper-v. I have deployed 6.3.1, the latest version.
