ESXi Host SOAP Sensor - Unknown Health State

Hello Everyone,

Our PRTG is pulling the following from ESX

Warnings 3 elements return a warning state: System Board 1 Power Optimized 0 --- 0.7.1.118; Add-in Card 3 SD1 0 --- 0.11.3.244; Add-in Card 3 SD2 0 --- 0.11.3.245

When I log into VMWare ESXi, I see that the Monitor has three Sensors that show these warnings as Unknown.

Has anybody run into a similar issue with these Sensors not showing their state in the Health Column of the Monitor? This started happening after the Image Profile was updated to DellEMC-ESXi-6.5U3-15177306-A04 (Dell)

This is the info on the ESX

Hello,

We have the same issue, and we don't have a solution yet. Is your problem solved, and do you have the solution.

Regards,

Wim

Hello.
I understand that your hardware is Dell, so you applied the indicated ISO, it is also recommended that you update the Dell Server Firmware which can be obtained from the DELL support website.
I also assume that you have met all of the manufacturer's requirements as indicated in their link

Hello hope you are doing fine

A few questions:

- Is firmware up to date?
You can check here for assistance: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1027206

- Have you checked iLO/iDRAC/BMC for any hardware logs?
Might be possible that there is some information about the sensors over there

If you need further assistance, please share hardware information in order to assist you

Warm regards
