/etc/init.d/snmpd not found...

[aflyfish]

i installed esxi 5.5 on Dell R610 and i want to enable snmpd service.

but i cannot find any net-snmp file, include /etc/init.d/snmpd, /usr/sbin/snmpd...

how can i do... thanks a lot...

# which snmpd
/bin/snmpd

read /etc/vmware/snmp.xml
Per default that service is not enabled.
Once you edited the xml you can use

/etc/init.d/snmpd start | status | stop

In the original post, it was mentioned that you had installed esxi 5.5, but from the vmware -lv output, it shows that you have esxi 5.0 installed.

In esxi 5.0 , there is no /etc/init.d/snmpd .

You will have to use RCLI to get the service started. That is what the official documentation mentions.

Refer "vSphere Documentation Center"
