Wondering if you could help. I am configuring a HP DL380 G7 as a stand alone Esxi 5 box. I have verified the HP offline bundle is installed.
I have setup esxi to forward trap alerts to an orion server we have. I can see the VMware traps but the compaq hardware traps do not show up.
I can confirm that the HP CIM information is showing up in the client. Also when i one of the power cables as a test it shows up in the client but no trap is sent.
I setup an identcal server a few weeks ago and this works with no issue. They are both on the same esxi and HP offline bundle.
The command i ran on both are -
esxcli system snmp set -c community
esxcli system snmp set -l warning
esxcli system snmp set -e yes
esxcli system snmp set --targets 10.X.X.X@162/community
Any help would be much appreciated. I feel like i am missing a step here.
Thanks
Did you configure in the alarm to forward it to SNMP.
Hi bharathl,
This is standalone esci with no vcentre. There are no alarms to configure.
Thanks
Can you check the firewall port is open for the snmp in ESXi.
Run this command to test configuration : esxcli system snmp test
did you use the option --hwsrc in SNMP to get the events from the source CIM
Hi CoolRam,
The test passes successfully. I can also see in Orion the VMware trap appear. The issue occurs with the compaq traps not being passed/working?
Thanks
hwsrc is set to indications. With CIM showing HP info in the client i assume is correct?
I think hwsrc set to indications should be enough to get the traps. Did you also load the appropriate MIB files in the SNMP server.
Orion has them all preloaded. In addition i have an identical server that is working.
Have you tried anything else besides plugging network cables?
Please post the complete output of these command, preferably from both your systems for comparison:
# esxcli system snmp get
# esxcli software vib list | grep -i hp
Also run a tcpdump when you try to generate a trap with:
# tcpdump-uw -i vmk0 -nnveAs0 port 162
Note: Change "vmk0" to the appropriate vmkernel port name that will send the trap.
