Insight agents not working on ESX 3.5

[heywoodg]

Hello,

We are running ESX 3.5 on a DL380 G4. I downloaded the files from here:

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?swItem=MTX-07643839dc4a4495b741d2640c〈=en&cc=us&idx=1&mode=4&

And then unpacked, opened the README, and ran the install.

I can now connect to my ESX server on port 2381, logon, and get a nice fancy webpage. The problem is, it says "no failed/degraded items", and even if I pull a disk from the RAID5 array, it still says "no failed/degraded items".

Also, if I click our mouse over the list of integrated agents (HP Foundation Agent, HP NIC Agent, HP Server Agent, or HP Storage Agent", I get the message "Content for this Integrated Agent is linked into the tabs and boxes on the right." Not much help.

Has anyone got these agents working? Any suggestions?


Cheers

I think you need to run "hpasm activate" after installation. You also need the snmp service working and all the ports opened.

For starters, what does your snmp.conf look like?

"hpasm activate" just returns an error about the command not being found. Where do I run it from?

Below is the snmpd.conf:

# Following entries were added by HP Insight Management Agents at

dlmod cmaX /usr/lib/libcmaX.so
rocommunity test
trapcommunity public
trapsink localhost public

# ---------------------- END --------------------
# Sample snmpd.conf containing VMware MIB module entries.

# This is a simple snmpd.conf that may help you test SNMP.
# It is not recommended for production use. Consult the
# snmpd.conf(5) man pages to set up a secure installation.


# VMware MIB modules. To enable/disable VMware MIB items
# add/remove the following entries.
dlmod SNMPESX /usr/lib/vmware/snmp/libSNMPESX.so

You have to open firewall port 2301
OR
you should use version 8.10 agents.

Thanks. If there a page where I can guarrantee to find the latest agents? To be honest, I was pretty impressed in finding those. Most of my searches for ESX agents returned agents for ESX 2.x.

Thanks, I am getting further with the 810 install. Now I get some nice boxes. However only the processor utilization box is green. There seems to be missing information from the other boxes. For example the 2nd power supply is not connected, but it still says "no failed/degraded items" at the top...

Also
"snmpwalk -v 1 localhost -c public enterprises | grep hp" comes back with nothing.
