Monitor ESX host with SIM using just SNMP
I have 4 ESX hosts in which three of them show up as "LINUX" as the hardware model in SIM and one of them shows up correctly as "ProLiant DL385 G5p". All four servers are identical (in terms of hardware), I compared the SNMP settings on them, and that is identical too. The only thing I am not sure on is the install and configuration of the Agents. I don't build the ESX servers (our UNIX team does this) and they claim all 4 servers were built from the same "tarball" (whatever that means). So as far as I can tell, all 4 servers are identical, yet only 1 is correctly identified in SIM.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Nelson

Re: Monitor ESX host with SIM using just SNMP
You might want to check with the Unix Team to see if they use a config file with a silent install for the HP Agents. This ensures that they're are configured in the same manner.
You're correct, snmp should be enough to correctly ID the server.
What version of ESX and HP SIM and Agents are in use?

Re: Monitor ESX host with SIM using just SNMP
I checked the management protocols, and they are all identical.
I am not using SIM 5.3 yet.
I am using ESX 3.5.0, 153875 (all 4 servers are at this rev)
I am using HP Agents 8.1; no choice in this - this is determined by the UNIX team (all 4 servers are at this rev)
I just tried WBEM again - to get be back to where I started, an now that is not working either. I had all my ESX server correctly identified (but missing key inventory data, and hence my desire to use just SNMP) a few days ago, deleted them, readded them with just SNMP, found the problem, and the re-added them like how I had it before (WBEM and SNMP) and now they no longer work. Something is really strange here.
Thanks

Re: Monitor ESX host with SIM using just SNMP
See:

Also, has a trust been set up correctly, e.g. what happens when you hit the HW icon, do you go straight to the SMH?
You can import the cert just like for Windows, but may need your Unix admin to log you in as root.

Yes - there is a trust with all 4 servers.
Thanks

Re: Monitor ESX host with SIM using just SNMP
In addition, for HA sanity sake, we use other tools such as Hyper 9 and of course Virtual Center.
Just my $.02.
cheers
