• Free ESXi 5.1 - SNMP configuration information

  All,

  I have 2 servers ESXi 5.1, free license. I am trying set the snmp properties to work with openmanage essentials, however to get an error that the command is not supported with the current version of the software.

  Is this able to do in the free version of esxi?

  Thank you

  To activate SNMP need licesne version of ESXi, free version don't support SNMP

• 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).

  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.

  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

  Location of the source Rlcopy.1.3.6.1.4.1.89.87.2.1.3

  Rlcopy the ip address of destination.1.3.6.1.4.1.89.87.2.1.9

• 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.

• 5.5 ESXi host adapter / card configuration

  I've been jumping for about half of the day now discussion, but have not found an answer that worked for me. I must again be seen on something. Here's my situation:

  ESXi 5.5 on a Dell server that has two physical network adapters. The management network was first configuration and all communications (pings, etc.) runs very well on it. [Standard vSwitch0 with 192.168.1x VMKernel Port vmk0 by vmnic0]

  Now that I've added [vSwitch1 with 192.168.3x vmk1 VMKernel Port via vmnic1] I can't communications to work.

  I'm sure I just address everything correctly, any public static IP, two lan affects two VM (Windows) and I even tried the 'promiscuous' mode Maybe it's something simple, but I can't get a grip on it. Anyone have any ideas on what I need to do to get my VM s able to communicate between two different networks through the ESxi server that is physically connected to two networks through its hardware NIC?

  Don't know how to explain that it worked, but it did. Once I converted a machine once again, with the version of VM to 8; I have had no problem Ping on both networks. I'll go forward with the second machine and try to confirm this today.

• ESXi 4.1 network configuration

  Hello

  I just connected on a cluster of ESXi 4.1, I am now and noticed that networking is configured as a Virtual Machine port group.

  What may be the consequence?

• Retrieve message to ESXi host Summary tab "Configuration issues."

  Using VMware Perl SDK API, how to get the message of 'Problems of Configuration' tab summary ESXi host?

  For example, I have an ESXi host disconnected from the cluster, and in the summary for this host tab, there 'Problems of Configuration' message "disconnected from esxi_hostname in esx_clustername." "Reason: expired license."

  Is it possible to recover the message above through Perl SDK API? The host is already disconnected from the cluster, not sure if this is possible.

  Yes, you can take a look at the configIssue (http://vijava.sourceforge.net/vSphereAPIDoc/ver5/ReferenceGuide/vim.ManagedEntity.html#configIssue) for the object HostSystem connecting to vCenter, i.e. When this information appears. It contains a table of configuration problems and it is exposed in the API, which means that it can be accessed by using one of our SDKs including the vSphere SDK Perl

• ESXi 4 - nic network configuration

  Hello

  I was wondering if I could get some tips here...

  We are currently in the early stages of planning our move to esx esxi and I am struggling a bit with the network configuration.

  I want to have failover and and teaming and whatnot, but I only have 4 cards to play with...

  Here's what I need

  The VM network

  Management network

  vMotion Network

  iSCSI network

  ISCSI does not need to have 2 network cards since it hosts only some backups and the replica of our production network, but if possible, it would be nice...

  I don't know if you still need to have a management network separated with esxi or not, because this is no longer a service console and is a vmkernel interface...

  We currently have with esx

  2 network cards for the network of the virtual machine and management

  1 card network for vmotion

  1 NIC for iscsi

  Don't know if I should just emulate that or not...?  Can I put vmotion and iscsi on the same group of network cards and have each other the failover to the other NIC...?

  Any help would be great!  Thank you...

  Yes, that's all.  You assign an IP address to each VMkernel port.  When you do so, ignore the default gateway field.  You can have a gateway and it will show the gateway you have chosen on the management port.
