• SNMP Configurations require vCenter?

  I am running vCenter on top a pair of cluster 2 ESXi hosts 4.1.0u3.  I have configured the Protocol SNMP configurations is vCenter to point to our appropriate receiver.

  A few questions come to mind with this, can someone enlighten me please!

  
  

  Although the SNMP configuration is applied in the vCenter settings, they need to be configured on each host ESXi?  If so, how it works?

  On a separate scenario (has nothing to do with the above), I have 2 ESXi hosts running ESXi 4.1.0u3 - but they are not in a cluster and do NOT contain a vCenter Server.

  How can I go about configuring SNMP for each of these individual ESXi hosts?

  Thanks for the help guys prerequisites!

  I remember using vcli for the same. Discover this useful KB

• Question about KB 2033173 - SNMP configuration

  Hi guys, I have a question about KB 2033173. It is said

  below is an example of the host SNMP Configuration profile:

  Port 161

  Community

  Community 10.0.0.1@0 receiver

  [...]

  Please note that the recipient's address contains a space, not a "/" as input to the command line.

  
  

  I wonder why the "10.0.0.1@0"? I think it should be "10.0.0.1@161" because the port number is 161. Thank you.

  
  

  
  

  Yes, you are correct and also keep in mind that there is a lot of difference with the SNMP agent without traps (use the port UDP/161) and SNMP agent with traps (use port UDP/162).

  Hi all

  We have Esxi 5.1 environment in our Organization, we must activate SNMP on all hosts. I have all the information of the SNMP protocol as, rope, add IP and port.

  But I don't know how to activate the SNMP on the host.

  Need help on setting up SNMP on the host, as I do for the first time

  Thank you all.

  You can check the status of snmp using 'esxcli system snmp get. "

  To activate snmp use the following command:

  "esxcli system snmp set e true.

  Other parameters can be configured with the following options:

  / var/log # esxcli system snmp set - help

  Use: esxcli system snmp set [command options]

• ESX host SNMP configuration

  I'm about to go crazy trying to understand how to configure snmp on an esx host using Orchestrator.  I see the object for it (VcHostSystem.configManager.snmpSystem), but the value is null when I try to use it.  I used the managed object browser and of course, it appears under the "unplugged" position  The api documentation confirms that this is where I'd go for update this configuration but I can't seem to make this work.  All the research that I show people using one of the line of remote control tools to define.  Can someone help a way that they do with orchestrator?  I guess I could create a workflow that calls for the command-line utils, but that seems barbaric.  I also thought that maybe I could manipulate the XML directly on the host computer, but then again, it seems more like the caveman.  If all goes well, Miss me just something obvious in my attempts to do so.

  Here's my test code:

  var myVcHostSnmpConfigSpec = new VcHostSnmpConfigSpec();
  ro var = new Array;
  trap of var = new Array;
  var destination = new VcHostSnmpDestination();
  destination.Community = "SNMP community";
  destination.hostName = '127.0.0.1 ';
  destination.port = 162;
  RO.push ("read-only");
  Trap.push (destination);
  myVcHostSnmpConfigSpec.enabled = true;
  myVcHostSnmpConfigSpec.readOnlyCommunities = ro;
  myVcHostSnmpConfigSpec.trapTargets = trap;
  System.Debug ("snmpSystem:" + esxHost.configManager.snmpSystem);
  System.Debug ("active snmp?" + esxHost.configManager.snmpSystem.configuration.enabled);
  System.Debug ("read only communities:" + esxHost.configManager.snmpSystem.configuration.readOnlyCommunities);
  System.Debug ("trapTargets:" + esxHost.configManager.snmpSystem.configuration.trapTargets);
  System.Debug ("CS:" + myVcHostSnmpConfigSpec);
  System.Debug ("CS.enabled:" + myVcHostSnmpConfigSpec.enabled);
  System.Debug ("CS.readOnlyCommunities:" + myVcHostSnmpConfigSpec.readOnlyCommunities);
  System.Debug ("CS.trapTargets:" + myVcHostSnmpConfigSpec.trapTargets);
  System.Debug ("CS.trapTargets:" + myVcHostSnmpConfigSpec.trapTargets [0] .community);
  System.Debug ("CS.trapTargets:" + myVcHostSnmpConfigSpec.trapTargets [0] .hostName);
  System.Debug ("CS.trapTargets:" + myVcHostSnmpConfigSpec.trapTargets [0] .port);
  esxHost.configManager.snmpSystem.reconfigureSnmpAgent (myVcHostSnmpConfigSpec);

  This seems to be one or the other of these unfortunate ESXi features that can be managed through a vCenter. So, for each host that you want to manage, you must import the SSL certificate and add the host to the vCO so that such changes. Based on my test script manually to add the SSL certificate and the facilitator to my server of vCO I could set the SNMP parameters as you coded above.

• 5548, 7048 - PowerConnect backup SNMP configuration

  Hello

  I Powerconnect 5548 and 7480 switches and I would like to know if it is possible to backup with TFTP and SNMP commands configuration files, like I do with my cisco switches?

  Thank you.

  You should be able to use rlcopy which is OID.1.3.6.1.4.1.89.87

• Best way to migrate virtual machines to new ESXi hosts with a different configuration of networking.

  We currently have a cluster of 6 Dell machines that move VM 120 or so on ESXi 5.5. Networking consists of a dVswitch with 6 uplinks that map to 6 x 1gig physical NETWORK adapters on each host ESXi... These are grouped into 3 trunks / gal, so we have 2 GB by SHIFTING of the bandwidth and failover. The LAGS are configured as follows:

  LAG1

  Traffic to our (NFS) shared data store and management of ESXi. (vmk0)

  LAG2

  Access to the network of the VM - groups of different ports on different VLANS

  LAG3

  vMotion (vmk1)

  We just bought 6 new Dell machines that have connections fiber 2 x 10gig each. The idea is to bring together in a 20Ggig LAG by machine that will handle all of the traffic, so traffic NFS data store, network traffic from the VM, vMotion and traffic management ESXi.

  
  

  What is the best way to migrate the virtual machine in the cluster existing to the new machines? Many of the virtual machine are essential, so we cannot stop time.

  
  

  Can I create the new DELAY on existing dVswitch and put it as an auxiliary card? I'll be able to do it for all 3 of the above both above LAGS?

  
  

  Thanks for the info Alistar, it's almost here. The bit that was me stumping was that after establishing a new dVswitch I received messages that the new dvSwitch was not reachable on the old host, when I tried to migrate the virtual computer.

  The solution (with the permission of VMware Support) was that I need to add the two dVswitches to one of the old hosts, then assign a physical alternative on this host uplink to a temporary 3 uplink on the new dVswitch. I then tag all the relevant VLAN that uplink.

  This way I can first migrate the virtual machine to the new dVswitch networking so I can move the computer to the new cluster.

  Obviously I can only migrate from old to new cluster with a single host. each virtual machine must be a double for the host with 2 switches, and then to the new cluster. I also had to have the two dVswitches to the same version.

  Fortunately, I had a physical rising spare on the hosts of the old, otherwise I would have had to break one of the trunks and re-use of one of these uplinks.

  Oh and be aware, impossible to use the same names for groups of ports 2 DV switches, they must be unique!

• The SNMP Configuration failure

  Hello

  I'm trying to configure SNMP v3 on a host running 5.5u1. When I try and set the authentication and privacy I'm greeted with the following error: / tmp/hash_snmp_34068 child process failed, returned exit code = 1:

  hash of esxcli system snmp - raw-secret-auth-hash password - priv-hash password

  Any ideas what could cause the failure?

  THX.

  Sorted. I never put the privacy of snmp. I put privacy at AES128 that sorted an error (/ tmp/hash_snmp_34068 child process failed, returned exit code = 1) which came later in the configuration.

• ESXi 5 in AD / DNS configuration

  We are preparing to implement VMware with ESXi. We are an ORGANIZATIONAL unit in an AD environment. I understand that I must have research front and rear, set up in the DNS system. We do not have our own DNS servers, they are managed by the people who run the AD. I asked as the two parameters of research direct and reverse DNS for these ESXi servers. The administrator AD says that since they are not part of ad that it cannot configure reverse look up.

  I see a few articles on adding servers to AD ESXi. If I will not be the DNS automatically register as do my Windows servers? Any input would be appreciated; I'm just trying to get a handle on this.

  One of the articles I found is listed below.

  http://www.virtualizetips.com/2010/07/configure-VMware-ESXi-4-1-for-Active-Directory-integration/

  ESXi hosts will not automatically register in DNS.

  All they need do is create a pointer to host (A) in DNS for each ESXi hosts.

  'trapsink' is the target of trap. The host where the SNMP interruptions should be send to. You can only use the IP address or add the trapcommunity. Your syntax is correct.

  Restart the "snmpd" so he reread the snmpd.conf file: "/etc/init.d/snmpd restart."

• Need to move virtual machines and power over the other ESXi HA and issues of Configuration of power

  Dears

  Need to move virtual machines and power on ESXi others using the HA and Power Options

  So what are the Options I need activate and deactivate:

  Turn on Vsphere HA

  Activate the tracking host

  Admission control (disabled)

  VM Machine Options

  VM restart priority (medium)

  Response from the host of off the power isolation

  VM monitoring (people with disabilities)

  Monitoring of (high) sensitivity

  Heartbeat of data store (select one of cluster data warehouses taking into account my preferences) of the data store is checked

  On each:

  Start/stop of the virtual machine is turned off

  Please indicate the required Options and on virtual machines, we are not turning on?

  Just to be clear, that VMware HA will only restart the VMS if ESXi hosts fails - or surveillance of the VM is turned on which will be monitors VMs will they crash or suspend and restart the virtual machine affected.

  and just to be clear, that the response of insulation parameter has nothing to do whther THAT HA will work or not - it does come into play if the ESXi host is isolated of the HA - Cluster

  xMotion works only between active ESXi hosts that can communicate with the server vCenter - and if the ESXi host broke down or became isolated and vMotion may not work.

  vMotion is automated with DRS that vMotion will a VM who need more resources to an ESXi host with enough reosurces.
