No VMWare SNMP subagent running

Hi people,

I just installed ESX4 and I'm tryimng to configure my snmpd.conf to allow monitoring nagios host in.

I was running from ESX 3.5 with this file snmpd.conf

# Sample snmpd.conf containing the entries of the VMware MIB module.
# This is a simple snmpd.conf that can help you test SNMP.
# It is not recommended for production use. Consult the
pages of snmpd.conf (5) # to implement a secure facility.
sysContact root@localhost (snmpd.conf edit)
sysLocation room1 (edit snmpd.conf)
rocommunity ro
public trapcommunity
trapsink localhost
# VMware MIB modules. To toggle the elements of VMware MIB
# Add/Remove the following entries.
DLMod SNMPESX /usr/lib/vmware/snmp/libSNMPESX.so
~
~
'snmpd.conf' 15L, 530C

Now that I have installed ESX4 the snmpd.conf file is very different, so I renamed and put the above in place.

It doesn't work and I get an error indicating ".

"Error: no VMWare SNMP subagent (vmware-snmpd) running"

I am not very practical when it comes to this particular configuration... any suggestions?

What the default snmpd.conf file looks, but I wasn't sure what I should change...

####
# Everything first, map the name of the "public" community in a "security name".
Community of origin # sec.name
com2sec notConfigUser default public
####
# Second, to map the name of the security in a group name:
# groupName securityModel securityName
Group notConfigGroup v1 notConfigUser
V2c notConfigUser notConfigGroup group

# Thirdly, create a view to leave the group are entitled to:

# name incl/excl subtree mask (optional)

# Finally, give the group read-only access to the view systemview.

You must enable SNMP using the rcli vicfg-snmp command. http://www.VMware.com/PDF/vi3_35/esx_3/r35u2/vi3_35_25_u2_rcli.PDF

  • VMware Tools stops running

    Hello

    I have an ESXi 5.1 U1 installation with a guest Windows 8.1 vSphere and problems with VMware Tools on this client. VMware Tools is installed, and that client vSphere summary screen says that it is running and the current, but after a certain time (do not know exactly how long, but I guess 20 minutes) VMware Tools stops running, resulting in people not being able to use remote desktop to connect to the host. As soon as I open the console to the guest in vSphere Client and click on the login screen then VMware Tools begin to run again and people can use remote desktop.

    I tried to reinstall the VMware Tools, but that had no effect. Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Richard.

    This sounds like the windows 8.1 client goes in some form of hibernation... you have all power saving / hibernation configured?

    The problem is that the port 8000 on the server running the VMware vFog agent. This is the port that the service Colectionneurs & connector communicate on.
    The configuration files need to be changed and the port changed to a port that is not taken.

  • Need help with VMware Player to run!

    I've been using VMware Player 7.1 successfully for some time, but my drive hard host started making noise, so I installed a new SSD drive as drive C on the host computer.  My old hard drive installation was 8.1 for Windows 64-bit, but needed to be cleaned, so I did a clean install of Windows 8.1 64 bit on my new SSD for the host.  My guest OS (8.1 64-bit Windows) has been installed on drive E, then I'm not touching this player.  I then installed VMware Player 7.1 and all is well.  However, when I now run VMware Player 7.1 and try to open my (8.1 Windows 64-bit) guest OS, he says now that the Intel VT - x is disabled.  I've never touched the BIOS at all, but to check I went into the BIOS and Intel Virtualization is always on because it has been.  My system is a motherboard ASUS Sabertooth with an i7 processor and 16 GB of ram.

    So I rechecked everything in the BIOS and made sure the virtualization is enabled.  What else can I do to get VMware Player 7.1 running?  Help, please!

    The log file created when I tried to run the guest operating system is attached.

    Thank you

    Abby

    It is indeed strange that there is a difference with no changes to the BIOS. In any case, other messages in the forums, it seems like some antivirus/end point protection applications can cause these issues (see, for example, binary translation is incompatible with the long mode). You have already installed this application?

    It might be interesting to see vmware.log from the virtual machine HARD disk.

  • VMware-cmd removesnapshot running 24 hours +.

    We have a server running ESX 3.01 yet, we are about to replace the hardware and update everything.  Through this process of preparation, I came across a virtual machine that has some old (2009), HUGE shots that must be engaged.

    Due to the problems I have experienced instant removing the console in the past, I decided to run it from the command line.  I ran the vmware-cmd command to delete snapshots, connected to an antibody secondary ssh session to look at the delta files.  I'm at a point now, where all the delta files are gone from the directory, but stereotypes are always listed in the vmsd file.  In addition, the session of vmware-cmd is not yet returned to a command prompt (or it is blocked or even do something?)

    He has been running (or suspended) for about 24 hours now.  I was about to kill this process and try to start the virtual machine - but I decided to post here everything first.

    Everyone knows this?

    Thank you

    SB

    I can't tell you with certainty what happened. However, because the delta files are gone, it should be reasonable to assume that the snapshot cleanup process is completed and the vmware-cmd command can simply wait for a callback that will probably never come because of timeouts for example. I would go check the VM .vmx file to see if it has been updated correctly with files hard base and then kill the process. If you wish, you can also take a glance to the file of vmware.log of the virtual machine that must contain entries on the consolidation of the snapshot. Don't worry too much about the .vmsd file, it is a text file that contains the information displayed in the Snapshot Manager. If all snapshots are gone, you can delete this file.

  • Lose the snapshots created by vmware fusion when running in vmware player?

    Hi all

    At home I have VMWare Fusion on a Mac and have created a lot of photos;

    Unfortunately I'm away and stay with a friend who has that VMWare Player.

    I'll lose all the clichés that I created if I run my last VM at his computer, whereas VMWare Player have the ability to single snapshot?

    Thank you

    No, you won't lose the snapshots. However, you will not be able to manage, so the virtual machine will run the latest snapshot (and grow this hard snapshot file).

  • VMWare Player will run Mac OS x 7?

    It is a violation of Apple licensing to run their OS on non Apple hardware.  And there are even limits on which versions and flavors that can be run as a virtual machine.  We cannot help you here, or VMware could get in legal trouble with Apple.

  • How can I test that VMware Tools is running?

    In my current project, I occasionally see this error:

    SOAP Fault:
    -----------
    Fault string: Cannot complete operation because VMware Tools is not running in this virtual machine.
    Fault detail: ToolsUnavailableFault
    

    even if I had just dumped this object which seems to have the same appearance as the tools are running or not.

    vm->config->tools: $VAR1 = bless( {
                     'afterPowerOn' => '1',
                     'afterResume' => '1',
                     'beforeGuestShutdown' => '1',
                     'beforeGuestStandby' => '1',
                     'syncTimeWithHost' => '0',
                     'toolsUpgradePolicy' => 'manual',
                     'toolsVersion' => '8295'
                   }, 'ToolsConfigInfo' );
    

    The Summary tab for the relevant vm vSphere Client seems to agree with what I see on the command line, indicating 'OK' when I do not see this error and "Does not work", when I see this error.

    I have clues as to how do I test this and to turn tools on or off if necessary.

    Thank you

    Hugh

    I haven't tried this in Perl, but I think what you want to check for is 
    
    vm->guest->toolsRunningStatus
    
    If that value is "guestToolsRunning" then the Tools should be running.

  • Disadvantages with VMware Workstation (7) running on a server rack Xeon?

    Hello

    We intend to run VMware Workstation on my company (7) on a server rack Xeon based (the next generation of Xeon, i.e. Beckton/Nehalem-EX, with 8 cores, planned in the 1st quarter of 2010), and then access all of these virtual machine guests (based on Windows, both the server and desktop kind/flavor) by separate remote desktop connections direct to them.

    I had a very hard time, trying to find out if there is (large or small) disadvantages with this approach?

    We do not want to use Vmware Server for this, because its characteristics (for example with respect to snapshots) are lower than those of VMware Workstation, and nor do we want to use ESXi, because we always want to run Windows as a host on the server operating system.

    Is VMware Workstation our best choice then, and there will be no significant disadvantage? I think it's as if there is a missing in the VMware portfolio, product i.e. namely I miss a server product with all the features of VMware Workstation, which still runs on a different host OS, what am I?

    In any case, again, the main question is:

    This plan of ours is stupid, and in this case how should we best solve it? Is there really an advantage by using VMware Server instead of VMware Workstation in this situation and in this case more exactly what?

    Any input or answers will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

    VMware Workstation on a good Windows installation will do you fine.

    Ideal if you conclude that the MS-host in this day you don't need no matter what Antivirus or firewall.

    Then such a facility will do what you expect.

    I wouldn't consider VMserver - workstation surpasses VMserver my experience

  • VMware Fusion 3 running extremely slow...

    First of all, my MacBook Pro:

    Core 2 T9300 2.5 GHz

    4 GB memory

    250 GB SATA HARD DRIVE

    Snow Leopard 10.6.1

    VMware Fusion 3.0

    When I was with Leopard and VMware Fusion 2.x, the virtual machines run fast, but now they are extremely slow. BTW, I have activated the 64-bit kernel.

    I managed to find the reason, it's because the "mds" in the host OS process, is not a problem of the guest operating system. Everytime I turn on my Windows XP in VMware, "mds" will appear in the activity monitor window, and account for about 2% ~ 20% CPU, hard drive usage becomes noisy at the same time. What I could do is just wait, after about an hour, mds will be 'calm down' and my MBP back alone. But, when the next time I turn on my virtual machine, "mds" will appear again...

    "Mds" makes me crazy... I tried to google for answers, but no result.

    Anyone faced this problem too? Or someone knows how to solve the problem? Thank you!

    We found just a bug where in some cases fusion 3 will be a spotlight on every launch search (it is supposed not only to occur once), which seems to be exactly what describes this thread. You can work around this bug open Terminal.app and running

    defaults write com.vmware.fusion PLLibrarySpotlightSearchDone -bool YES
    

    Please let us know if that fixes things (or if not).

  • Can anyone confirm if host vista can go to sleep when vmware workstation is running?

    I posted a question on my vista machine not to fall asleep when vmware is running. I have all the answers.

    Now, I would like to ask differently. Can anyone confirm or deny that your vista machine to sleep when vmware is running. Please indicate your vista edition and vmware workstation version. Please also note that VMware is running any active guest of the OSes. In my case, even if vmware won't be meme si vmware ne s' execute running no matter what guest OS, the machine won't go to sleep sleep once expired. Strange - if you just click on 'Start' - & gt;... - & gt; "' Sleep menu", the machine will sleep very well, even if vmware is running some OSes comments.

    Chuck, I use Vista Business SP1 with VMware Workstation 6.5.2 and he falls asleep without problem with or without a running virtual machine.

    You configure the duration of sleep through Control Panel > plan Options of food, then by setting it to this power, or are you using some sort of freeware Vista shutdown/sleep timer app?

  • What VMWare used to run W2K Server in Windows Server 2008 x 64?

    We have recently replaced a 32-bit Windows Small Business Server with Standard Windows Server2008 x 64 but find that a particular database will not work on a 64 bit OS.

    The Publisher of the application said to run it on Windows Server 2000 or 2003 on a virtual machine, and we are just lucky to have a clean and unused copy of Windows Server 2000.

    I used MS VirtualPC, but have never used VMware.  Should what version of VMWare I use?  Preferably a free version?

    In addition, any info or links to information, which would help the installation process would allow me to save time and greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I don't really expect VMware Server 1 for work on Wk28 x 64... the product is not updated on this operating system.

    Windows 2008 is perhaps editable so that it will work... but then why bother using the new operating system if you pass on the new security model. The right way to go indeed uses VMware server 2 because it will also mean that you have a supported configuration.

    Where or where did I go wrong turn?  Was it because I was bottle fed as a child, or maybe when I turned my teacher of class 2 with a pistol to water... but I digress.

    The documentation that I found on the VMWare Web site does not appear to be any reference to the creation of a host name, the user name or the password during the Setup process.  Of course, I missed something along the line.

    VMware server 2 has all of its normal maintenance and the remote in the browser console.

    After installation you can access the console via https://127.0.0.1:8333

    Instead of localhost (127.0.0.1) address, you can also try the real IP address of the computer or host name.

    I expect that there is a menu option to access the management interface in the start menu under Windows 2008, but apparently not. Guess I have to implement on my both Win2008 box afterwards... The account to use to log on is the administrator account on your windows machine.

    No guidance to properly install VMWare Server 2 (or same v1), and then creating a new virtual machine would be appreciated.

    I suppose you start with something like "Everything first uninstall v1 and start v2 installation process".  Then what?

    Then try opening the administration interface of Vmware Server via the browser and if that doesn't work, post here.
