Instead you would need to configure SNMP and query host information by CIM.<br /> <br /> Ports for CIM - page 144 / 145 - <a class="jive-link-external" href="http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_35/esx_3i_e/r35/vi3_35_25_3i_server_config.pdf">http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_35/esx_3i_e/r35/vi3_35_25_3i_server_config.pdf</a><br /> HP info page - <a class="jive-link-external" href="http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/software/vmware-esx3i/index.html">http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/software/vmware-esx3i/index.html</a><br /> General info - page 23 - <a class="jive-link-external" href="http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/ESX_Server_3i_presentation.pdf">http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/ESX_Server_3i_presentation.pdf</a><br /> Using vicfg-snmp to send snmp traps to your management host - <a class="jive-link-external" href="http://communities.vmware.com/thread/119672">http://communities.vmware.com/thread/119672</a> Wed, 07 May 2008 08:19:47 GMT Dave.Mishchenko http://communities.vmware.com/message/937099?tstart=0#937099 2008-05-07T08:19:47Z 1 year, 6 months ago http://communities.vmware.com/message/935772?tstart=0#935772 <br /> Hi,<br /> <p /> Configuration: <br /> <p /> OS: ESX3i<br /> Dell 2960 (2U rack server)<br /> <p /> <p /> <p /> I've installed the following softwares on Windows machine: <br /> <p /> HP-SIM v5.2<br /> Virtual Server 2.5.0<br /> <p /> <p /> <p /> I've discover ESX3i using Virtual Center server.<br /> <p /> As part of integration of HP-SIM, i've installed VMM:3.5. <br /> <p /> I'm interested in 2 aspects in discovering ESX host using HP-SIM.<br /> <p /> I'm trying to configure ESX host to allow HP-SIM ports as follows:<br /> <p /> <p /> <p /> (a.)<br /> <p /> 1.) Enable port 2301 incoming (this is a temporary change<br /> #esxcfg-firewall -o 2301,tcp,in,HPSIM<br /> 2.) Identify the ESX Server within HPSIM (Options -&gt; Identify Systems...<br /> 3.) Disable port 2301 incoming<br /> #esxcfg-firewall -c 2301,tcp,in <br /> <p /> None of the above commands are found in ESX3i server. Could there be any way to configure them?<br /> <p /> <p /> (b.) I've also installed integration tools for HP-SIM<br /> <p /> HP-SIM v5.2<br /> VMM 3.5.<br /> <p /> I'm trying to configure VMM, by following steps:<br /> <p /> Transferred the follwing files from the HPSIM server to ESX Server:<br /> C:\Program Files\HP\Virtual Machine Management Pack\Agents\Linux\hpvmmagent.tar<br /> <p /> C:\Program Files\HP\Virtual Machine Management Pack\lib\cms.ce<br /> <p /> C:\Program Files\HP\Virtual Machine Management Pack\bin\importcert.sh<br /> <p /> On the ESX console Following steps not able to perform, because it says not enough space to perform<br /> <p /> 1. tar -xf hpvmmagent.tar<br /> <p /> ~ # tar -xvf hpvmmagent.tar<br /> <p /> hpvmmagent-4.5.0.2036-esx.i386.rpm<br /> <p /> tar: Write Error: No space left on device<br /> <p /> tar: Invalid tar magic<br /> <p /> <p /> <p /> <p /> 2. chmod +x hpvmmagent.sh<br /> <p /> 3. sudo hpvmagent.sh<br /> <p /> 4. sudo cp cms.cer /root<br /> <p /> 5. sudo ./importcert.sh <br /> <p /> <p /> <p /> ~ # df<br /> Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on<br /> unknown 187448 18014381329828908 17179840524 0% /<br /> <p /> <p /> <p /> I'm surprised to see this message. So I cleared all the logs, (var/log/...) but still the problem persists. <br /> <p /> I'm interested to know:<br /> <p /> Is my understanding of configuring VMM is correct? Is that possible way of doing? If yes, How to over come the above problem?<br /> <p /> <p /> <p /> Thanks,<br /> <p /> <p /> <p /> <p /> <p /> <p /> <p /> Best Regards,<br /> <p /> -Viswa<br /> <p /> <p /> <p /> <br /> Tue, 06 May 2008 11:17:32 GMT viswanath1 http://communities.vmware.com/message/935772?tstart=0#935772 2008-05-06T11:17:32Z 1 year, 6 months ago 1
