We're attempting to add our first VMWare ESX server (3.0.1) to Insight Manager. I'm new to VMWare and its core OS...but I can't figure out where to go from this point to get this server to report properly into HP Insight Manager.
We look to have installed the VM management (8.1.0) pack without issue. We've modified the SNMPD.conf file with our community RW/RC information, and SNMP is running. Verification with snmpwalk has returned MIB information related to the server.
From the SIM server itself, it discovers the server by IP/DNS name, however, we look to be having issues with it reporting in correctly.
It is currently showing as Unknown.
When I try to add register the ESX server from the SIM server manually, I also receive the following error:
\Program Files\HP\Virtual Machine Management\bin>vmcli -registeragent "servername"
Registering Agent on "servername"
Agent registration failed! - "servername"
The VMM agent cannot be connected or is locked to another service. Install the V
MM agent or unregister it from the other CMS.
There is no physical firewall in place between the SIM server and the ESX server, but there looks to be something hindering communication.
I can launch the Systems Management Homepage, however no data is returned.
When I look at the Product Description/Management Protocols for the server after discovery, it shows HTTP:, SMH:2.0, SSH:SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_3.6.1p2 but NO SNMP...I'm guessing this is the issue as other servers reporting correctly show SNMP 1.0 in the Management Protocol field.
Any ideas as to where to troubleshoot from here?
