heya
as the topic states im trying to setup monitoring for our esxi hosts and servers in HP SIM 7.5
i feel ive entered in the credentials correctly, snmp community (read and trap) are setup within ILO. Do these have to be set on the esxi host as well?
root login details entered in correctly.
the host that im trying to add is on the same domain as the hpsim server.
the host has amsHelper enabled.
/etc/init.d/hp-ams.sh status
amsHelper is running.
when i do a discovery i get this major error
********* Significant issues and overall target discovery/identification
status:
Major: The system cannot be identified properly for HP SIM to manage;
unable to get one or more of the following: model, serial number or
unique identifier (UUID). For management processors, verify the
system is running the latest firmware. For Linux based operating
systems, you must have dmidecode installed, enable the
PermitRootLogin and PasswordAuthentication in sshd, and use root
sign-in credential. For HP-UX, verify the sign-in credential. For
Windows, check if WMIMapper is configured correctly on the CMS and
verify the sign-in credential.
The host will be added to HP SIM and i can see it, but all i can see in health status is PING
nothing else...
the documentation for hp sim is terrible and i cant find a straight answer as to how to setup monitoring for our hosts and servers.
im starting to tear my hair out as im not sure where to go from here.
how do i configure the hosts for snmp and wbem?
from a networking perspective i checked with the networking guys and they say that all ports are open with the networks so there shouldnt be any firewalls blocking snmp traps etc.
can somebody who knows hp sim guide me in the right direction?
appreciate any help i can get!
thanks
