WBEM + NAT

[BenDB]

I'm trying to get events from an ESXi 4.1 with WBEM.

This server is being NATTED. When i added this server in HP SIM > Options > Discovery with it's NATTED IP (10.x.x.x) it's able to monitor the hardware. I subscribed to WBEM events, it succeeded. When I remove storage from my ESXi server, it should send a WBEM event to my HP SIM server (10.x.x.x). However, it doesn't send an event to my HP SIM server. Instead, a new host was created with the internal IP of my ESXi server, and the events are received on that host... How can i make my WBEM events go to the natted IP address of my ESXi host, instead of the internal IP (172.x.x.x)?

In order to recieve WBEM indication in a NAT Env -> NAT_enabled=false to true in Globalsettings.props file.

Hello,

I've Changed the setting to enable NAT.

It gave a warning for WBEM. I tried to resubscribe for WBEM events.

The following error message was displayed:

This tool cannot run on 10.179.x.x as it does not pass the conditions required for running it.

WBEM must be greater than or equal to 1.0

OR 

WSMAN must be greater than or equal to 1.0



The properties that 10.179.x.x has for the failing conditions :
WBEM: Not installed
WSMAN: Not installed.

Version 1.1 is currently installed on my ESXi 4.1...

Changed the NAT property back to False, but it didn't solve the problem.

I almost can't believe enabling NAT has anything to do with it..

What I did so far:

- Remove the system from HP SIM and re-adding it.

- Restart HP SIM service on the server

- Restart HP SIM server

- Tried to install 1.4 offline bundle for ESXi 4.1

Any more ideas?
