ESX hosts not sending traps

HP SIM: 5.1 with SP1

SIM agent 8.2 installed on ESH hosts running 3.5 update 2

Systems were discovered in SIM, and I can get to the System management Homepage. When I send a Test Trap from the homepage, it is never received in SIM...

Did I miss something while setting this up?

Thanks

Re: ESX hosts not sending traps

What your snmpd.conf looks like ?

there should be
trapsink SIM IP community string(public)

Re: ESX hosts not sending traps

Just a note, I recommend editing up the hpmgmt.conf file from the example provided with all of the SNMP details.
You can then use this in a silent install. It's nice as it'll save a lot of typing if you're doing multiple installs and ensures you get the same setup across different hosts.

Details are in the README in the unpacked agents directory.

Re: ESX hosts not sending traps

maybe try restart daemon :

/usr/sbin/snmpd
