How to Restart HP hardware status agents on Esxi 5.1

Hi Guys,

I spent a while trying to figure out how to get HP hardware status working again on some DL380 G6 & G7 servers running Esxi 5.1.

It had previously worked and had stopped. Reset sensors didn't work.

Run this command from SSH:

/etc/init.d/sfcbd-watchdog restart

Once it's done, hardware status should show again in Vsphere client.

Also if you're running HP SIM it will restore hardware status there too.

Regards,

Feizex.
