• Network configuration required

  Hello

  in installation guide is no information on the network. I want to know how much bandwidth necessary for data collection.

  Thank you very much

  Sorina,

  I don't know any white paper on the network configuration required for data collection. I worked at Integrien before vmware bought us and nobody DON'T all talked about the record minimum network configuration. I saw him install and run without problems of collection network via a third party and vcenter data with 10,000s objects without a complaint from the network team.

  Can't say it won't happen, but I've yet to see network problems.

  You see a few questions?

• 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).

  

• Script to join the domain, the role of configuration, add permissions and activate/SNMP configuration

  So I'm writing a script to install our vSphere hosts to work with our monitoring software.  Right now, it's all done by hand and I would like if possible to automate it.  So far, I came up with this.  I get to step 5 and that's where it fails.  I can get it manually run the Get-VIAccount command, but in the script, it fails.

• vicfg-snmp fails against vCenter

  I have vCenter 5.0.0 build 455964 and ESXi 5.0.0 build 702118.

  I used

  vicfg-snmp - Server esx-1 - user name root - c public - enable to configure SNMP on one of my hosts.

  Enter the password:

  Evolution Community list to: public...
  All.
  Clearance agent...
  All.

  I can show the settings with

  vicfg-snmp - Server esx-1 - username root s

  Enter the password:

  Current settings of the SNMP agent:

  Activated: 1

  UDP port: 161

  Communities:

  public

  Targets of notification:

  viperl@162/public

  Options:

  EnvEventSource = details

  When I try to show the seetting using vCenter and vihost it fails.

  vihost - vicfg-snmp esx - 1.example.com - server vcenter - 1.example.com - username Administrator s

  Enter the password:

  SNMP system is not available on this system.

  My ultimate goal is to write a script which check SNMP on each host ESXi in a vCenter.  I noticed vmwarevSphereSecurityHardeningReportCheck.pl does not collect information either.  Any help?

  Hello

  vicfg-snmp is supported only when running against an ESXi host, it is not supported when you connect to vCenter Server and that's why when you run my script Security Hardening against vCenter, there is no info. You need to run directly against a host to get the SNMP details. The reason for this is that the snmpSystem for a host is not accessible via the vSphere API when connecting to vCenter Server

• 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.

• Recommended configuration for VCenter and SAN

  Hello

  I learn to vmware to some extent and have a question or a request for recommendation on vsphere configuration.  I have install vsphere on a phyiscal on w2k8 server that has the vclient and the vcenter server.  This server also manages the back-end by iSCSI storage.  There are two ESX host, connect to the network, each execution of a few guest computers w2k8, and I have a guest configure with a primary domain controller ADDS and another on the other host as a replica domain controller.

  Whenever my physical with vCenter server running on it gets the Windows updates, it asks me to restart.  This seems problematic, because I have to turn off all my virtual machines because they depend on the storage of the server that requires a reboot.

  I read that vCenter can live in a virtual machine as well, but it seems that it would make me a little further.

  Is there a better way to do it?  How can I keep my VMs running in order to update the storage server requires a reboot?

  Thank you very much!

  As long as the virtual machines stored the common storahe presented by windows server, you have to stop the virtual machines each time that you update the operating systems on the storage server - storage works fine your forces don't need update as often.

  I would recommend to move your VC serverto a separate machine either virtual or physical

• Configuration required to use the fingerprint reader

  I have a dv6tQE delivered later this week and I'm looking into how to configure the fingerprint reader.  I'm interested the FR for projecting my fingerprint with the plethora of passwords that I now keep in a Word document hyperlink.  Too much memorize.  I'm not interested in the security feature that requires a logon or a fingerprint whenever I start my computer.  I usually push on the button and then perform several tasks to something else and come back to the computer, wait until it is ready to roll without the need for an additional activity on my part.

  The User Guide PDF downloaded States in part:

  "In order to use the fingerprint reader, you must configure a user account with a password on the computer. This account allows you to log on to your computer with a simple touch of the designated finger. Alternatively, you can use the fingerprint reader to fill in the password on Web sites and other programs that require a login. See using the fingerprint software for instructions. After you have created your identity from fingerprints, you can configure single sign-on... »

  It will be necessary for me to set up a user account for my login or can I skip that part and use the NOF for passwords only?  In addition, there is a link to the FR software guide?

• Network configuration required for VIO with VDS integration

  You are looking for assistance with the requirements of network for a new installation VIO, I plan.

  Requirements, I see that it takes 3 VLAN

  API with 5 IPs

  Management with 18 IPs

  Provider with x IPs

  I plan this configuration will be in a network of laboratories. My plan is to use a subnet I can connect to in the laboratory for the vlan API I will need access to the dashboard VIO etc..

  For two other VLANs, I was going to use two private ip ranges

  My question is, pole management provide connectivity/routing between these 3 VLAN or do you need to configure a router out to route between the 3 VLAN?

  Any help appreciated

  Your layout looks ok and should be good.

  I don't understand what you mean by 'cluster management provide a connectivity/routing between these 3 VLAN... '. » ? The routing between these VLANS is up to you. VIO didn't need connectivity amongst these VLAN that is to say that they can be separated segments without any L3 L2.

  However, must the hosts in the cluster Management, be transmitted to each of these VLANs. See the section "Physical networking" in the little quick start guide more color on the L2/L3 amongst connectivity these VLANS.

  Please feel free to expand on your question and provide you with a more precise guidance.

• 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.
