Hello again,

Yes for Windows systems with a WBEM agent this should work just fine. If you run into problems please post the discovery log so we can have a look if there are any issues with the discovery.
Kind regards,

Hello again,

 

Did you install the offline bundle from HP that contains agents and drivers? This package is needed for monitoring your HP hardware servers. The software csn be found here http://h20565.www2.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?sp4ts.oid=3884100&swItemId=MTX_ba94e3edea26495d8540bc88de&swEnvOid=4166

 

The needed credentials are root or yet better a new account with root rights.

Kind regards,

Andrew

Re: HPSIM 7.3 installed, now what?

Hello,

ESX 5.0 was the last version to use SNMP. The agents today use WBEM or AMS on a GEN8 or newer. With this kind of monitoring SNMP is used on the ILO. The only OS that use SNMP is Linux or the opdr Windows.

The 5.0i software can be found here :

I'm not sure if this is SNMP or WBEM.

Kind regards,
