• Hardware monitoring TD340

  I have a TD340 server running Windows Server R2 2012. It's the first ThinkServer I put in place. I want to know what Lenovo is equivalent to manage Open from Dell or HP Management Homepage. I depend on application of Dell OpenManage so that I can monitor hardware health remotely. However, I can't find which utility will allow me to monitor all of the material in my thinserver. I have download the RAID utility so that I can at least see the health of disks. However, I have a yellow explamation lit on the front of my server and I can not even determine what it is because I don't have the applications or utilities to tell me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  You can monitor the hardware using the Management Module integrated Thinkserver.

• VMware vCenter Storage Monitoring Service fails

  Hi all!

  I have a problem with 2 Server vCenter (in bound mode). Do not start monitoring services of storage with the licensing of services...

  How can I start this service?

  At the service of vCenter status, I have an alert 7 (screen attached).

  VCenter Server 5.1.0 version; build 1064983.

  So, I find the problem in config file vcdb.properties to vCenter server (c:\programdata\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\). Have been exposed to the wrong type of data and the driver to use - replaced by db2 for mssql... and the start of the service. Thank you all for the silence

• vCenter Storage Monitoring Service Service initialization failed after the upgrade from 5.1 to 5.5

  I recently upgraded from vCenter 5.1 to 5.5. After the upgrade, I started getting health warnings for the VMware vCenter monitoring of Storage Service that say "failed to initialize the Service." I restarted the vCenter server and restart services several times and who has not deleted the question. When I look in the SMS. LOG file there is no activity in it since I did the upgrade (a week or more there). All prior activity in the SMS. JOURNAL seems to be well upward until the upgrade took place though. I found at least half a dozen KB articles that describe the various reasons why this error may occur, but they all relate to older versions of vCenter. Just to be complete, although I saw the symptoms in the articles and none of them really seem to be the same as what I see. My hypothesis is that perhaps the SMS did not get properly re-installed upgrading because I don't see any SMS subdirectory in the directory \Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\tomcat\webapps but I do not know if this directory must exist on a 5.5 installation.

  If you would be grateful if anyone has any advice for troubleshooting for this type of error.

  Thank you

  Change the credentials of the service account for VMware vSphere Profile-Driven Storage Service to those used to start the VMware vCenter Server service and the service of VMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices. By default, the account used Local System.

  Restart the service, the change was made, and then check.

• Create alarm "hardware monitoring" by the script?

  Hello:

  I wonder how I can create the hardware by script monitoring alarm?

  For example, I want to write a script that will create the alarm similar to the default alarm "State of other objects of host hardware.

  Follow large docs LucD Web site (http://www.lucd.info/2009/11/27/alarm-expressions-part-2-event-alarms/), I wrote the following code:

  $alarm. Name = "status of other objects of host hardware.

  $alarm. Description = "monitor other objects of host hardware."

  $alarm. Enabled = $TRUE

  $expr1 = new-Object VMware.Vim.EventAlarmExpression

  $expr1. EventType = "com.vmware.vc.cim.CIMGroupHealthStateChanged."

  $expr1. ObjectType = "HostSystem.

  $expr1. Status = 'green '.

  $expr2 = new-Object VMware.Vim.EventAlarmExpression

  $expr2. EventType = "EnteringMaintenanceModeEvent."

  $expr2. ObjectType = "HostSystem.

  $expr2. Status = "yellow".

  $expr3 = new-Object VMware.Vim.EventAlarmExpression

  $expr3. EventType = "EnteringMaintenanceModeEvent."

  $expr3. ObjectType = "HostSystem.

  $expr3. Status = "red".

  $alarm.expression = new-Object VMware.Vim.OrAlarmExpression

  $alarm.expression.expression += $expr1

  $alarm.expression.expression += $expr2

  $alarm.expression.expression += $expr3

  $alarmMgr.CreateAlarm($entity.) MoRef, $alarm)

  But now I have problem to add arguments, operator, and value to all three different events (Advanced) Condition?

  Also, I know that I have to restart VC after creating this alarm, but it is fine with me (the same 'problem' I had added when storage network/monitoring of alarms by script).

  I would really appreciate the help.

  Thank you very much!

  Okay, I think I got it.

  You must use the property of comparisons to set conditions.

  Try this

  $entity = (Get-VMHost ).Extensiondata
  $alarm = New-Object VMware.Vim.AlarmSpec
  $alarmMgr = Get-View AlarmManager
  
  $alarm.Name = "Status of other host hardware objects"
  
  $alarm.Description = "monitor other host hardware objects"
  $alarm.Enabled = $TRUE
  
  $expr1 = New-Object VMware.Vim.EventAlarmExpression
  $expr1.EventType = "EventEx"
  $expr1.EventTypeId = "com.vmware.vc.cim.CIMGroupHealthStateChanged"
  $expr1.ObjectType = "HostSystem"
  $expr1.Status = "green"
  
  $condition11 = New-Object VMware.Vim.EventAlarmExpressionComparison
  $condition11.attributeName = "group"
  $condition11.operator = "equals"
  $condition11.value = "Other"
  
  $condition12 = New-Object VMware.Vim.EventAlarmExpressionComparison
  $condition12.attributeName = "newState"
  $condition12.operator = "equals"
  $condition12.value = "green"
  
  $expr1.Comparisons += $condition11
  $expr1.Comparisons += $condition12
  
  $expr2 = New-Object VMware.Vim.EventAlarmExpression
  $expr2.EventType = "EventEx"
  $expr2.EventTypeId = "com.vmware.vc.cim.CIMGroupHealthStateChanged"
  $expr2.ObjectType = "HostSystem"
  $expr2.Status = "yellow"
  
  $expr2.Comparisons += $condition11
  $condition22 = New-Object VMware.Vim.EventAlarmExpressionComparison
  $condition22.attributeName = "newState"
  $condition22.operator = "equals"
  $condition22.value = "yellow"
  $expr2.Comparisons += $condition22
  
  $expr3 = New-Object VMware.Vim.EventAlarmExpression
  $expr3.EventType = "EventEx"
  $expr3.EventTypeId = "com.vmware.vc.cim.CIMGroupHealthStateChanged"
  $expr3.ObjectType = "HostSystem"
  $expr3.Status = "red"
  
  $expr3.Comparisons += $condition11
  $condition32 = New-Object VMware.Vim.EventAlarmExpressionComparison
  $condition32.attributeName = "newState"
  $condition32.operator = "equals"
  $condition32.value = "red"
  $expr3.Comparisons += $condition32
  
  $alarm.expression = New-Object VMware.Vim.OrAlarmExpression
  $alarm.expression.expression += $expr1
  $alarm.expression.expression += $expr2
  $alarm.expression.expression += $expr3
  
  $action = New-Object VMware.Vim.AlarmAction
  
  $action = New-Object VMware.Vim.AlarmTriggeringAction
  $action.action = New-Object VMware.Vim.SendEmailAction
  $action.action.toList = "[email protected];"
  $action.action.ccList = ""
  $action.action.subject = ""
  $action.action.body = ""
  $action.green2yellow = $false
  $action.yellow2red = $false
  $action.red2yellow = $false
  $action.yellow2green = $false
  
  $spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.AlarmTriggeringActionTransitionSpec
  $spec.startState = "yellow"
  $spec.finalState = "red"
  $spec.repeats = $false
  
  $action.transitionSpecs = $spec
  
  $alarm.action = New-Object VMware.Vim.GroupAlarmAction
  $alarm.action.action += $action
  
  $setting = New-Object VMware.Vim.AlarmSetting
  $setting.toleranceRange = 0
  $setting.reportingFrequency = 0 
  
  $alarm.setting = $setting
  
  $alarmMgr.CreateAlarm($entity.MoRef, $alarm)
  

  Note that I reused the $condition11 into three expressions since it does not change.

• VMware vSphere profile focused on service of storage AND VMware vCenter Storage Monitoring Service alerts

  Hi all

  I installed VC 5.5.0b in-bound on a Windows Server 2008 mode. The Installation goes very well and everything looks good, but when I check the service of vCenter status it shows that both services have an alert

  The Services are

  

  I checked the log file vws.log and found the below error message

  • I stopped the WebClient Service > > restarted VC Service but not go
  • The Windows Firewall is disabled

  My virtual database uses a custom instead of 1433 port.

  Please suggest what I can try next

  Thanks in advance

  This service is supposed to be there, anyway you can try to repair the installation. This article talks about re - install VMware vSphere profile Driven Storage service: upgrading to vCenter Server 5.0 Update 1, 5.1, or 5.5 fails and the Setup Wizard is interrupted (2017147)

• Hardware monitor not recognized

  I got a new monitor (Dell U2413) and need to install the software Manager display Windows. I am running Windows 7 64 bit. When I tried to install the software, I got an error that the monitor is not connected. Any ideas how I can get VM to recognize the correct material?

  Any help is appreciated!

  Note that the display manager Dell error message shows ""this program requires a Dell monitor and compatible display driversupport.". and what I have stated in bold that is the problem that the VMware SVGA 3D does not have a compatible display driver.  There is nothing you can do!

• Cisco UCS chassis hardware monitoring - c220?

  Hey all,.

  We have these new Cisco c220 rack mount server in our environment running ESXi 5.0 Update 2... We are a shop HP and we are not too familiar with this new platform... Nobody knows what is needed to install the equipment of surveillance for these types of servers? Currently our HP servers we use WBEM and HPSIM... What are the people you help/installation for Cisco equipment? Any info would be appreciated thanks.

  Thanks for the info... We decided to use "Sevone" to monitor the material using the interface boxes MMIC... Sevone supports systems of the UCS... We are so lucky to have this product in our environment to do the job.

• own, hardware installation, service on this monitoring host is unresponsive

  Hallo,

  I have 3 servers running esxi5.1.0 image of the form version 1157734 update 799733 managed by vsphere

  On one of my DGL380 G6 servers have the error: hardware monitoring service on the host is not responding

  is what I did to try to resolve the issue:

  • restart the /etc/init.d/sfcbd-Watchdog
  • Return to material on vCenter Server Status tab and click the update link. It may take up to 5 minutes to refresh
  • Stop the service and resart it
  • Reset sensors
  • update of the data
  • enabled the setting of firewall they are all the same

  the question is always the same

  Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?

  After I reinstalled the host State of the material was good (used a new generation iso. # 1065491)

  After that, I set up my host then I patched the host to # 1157734

  then I check if the condition of the equipment was OK, but I noticed that all the sensors, where the normal but the HP ProLiant DL380 G6 was unknown after one minute is Normal.

  so not a real problem then to install the module of Multipathing dell after the sensors when there is still good. before adding the host in the cluster, I rebooted the server again

  still no problem

  before adding the host in the cluster, I removed the old host and then added the new host to the cluster.

  now the material status tab is always OK

  the problem seems to be resolved for now.

• The HP w1907v monitor menu

  I have problems with the screens; the video card is probably the cause, but I want to eliminate the monitor before I start to pull apart computor. My question; the monitor has its own dedicated menu accessible by buttons at the bottom of the screen. For now I can not get this menu to display, depends on this menu dedicated video card in the tower or it has it's own drivers installed in the hardware monitor.  I had no problem with the monitor previously, but what do you need to remove from my list of faults.  If all those who have a similar screen will try bringing the menu with switched computor I will be grateful.  Ron

  Hello ronhans,

  Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

  I understand that you have problems with your screen and try to exclude the monitor. The buttons on the display itself depend on your monitor is connected to a computer. To properly test your monitor if you try to exclude it just connect to another computer and see if it works properly.

  I hope that I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

• Control/monitoring of temperature monitors/clocks CPU/GPU: recommendations?

  Given the need to document and mediation temperatures GPU, especially about GPU NVIDIA with high failure rates, here are 2 programs you can consider using.  All OEM computer customer support is more often limited and unsolved.  We, end-users must increase troubleshoot our own systems, with the help of these programs and with the help of such as this community.

  I ask that users who have had experiences with these products or other programs could give their experiences.

  «HWMonitor is a program that reads the sensors key health systems PC hardware monitoring: voltages, temperatures, fans speed.»   HWMonitor (32-bit & 64-bit versions) is free and it provides only the basics, so it is a little limited in utility.  HWM Pro incurs costs.

  For chipset temp, nVidia System Monitor, part of nVidia System Tools (no need to install the other two parts of system tools), also works well that's a bit inflated to install compared to HWMonitor.  On the positive side, it can display only what you want above the other windows in the small Panel.  "GPU" is the place for the good temp video integrated chipset or motherboard no matter what the choice is.

  Just trying to install a vcops and I'm a little confused on the required permissions in vcenter.

  First of all, the wizard wonder an OPTIONAL information on the accommodation of vCenter Server (vcenter that hosts the vcops device?).. why the unit wants to know this information?

  Then the wizard requests the information on the vcenter to monitor: 'User registration' and 'collector (optional) user... What are the differences? Who are the minimum permission? I see in the guide of the administrator that the user to gather information could be a read-only root vcenter inventory... but nothing abou the user registration/collector.
