I installed 9.1 today and I cannot figure out how to show my VM information and I am having worse luck in the manual. The changing views by device type did not work. But if it did, wouldn't that change all of my "net-snmp Linux" servers?
thanks
Also you need to verify that your account settings node details view is set to "By Device type"
Starting in 9.0, Orion can tell the difference between garden-variety net-snmp linux boxes and VMware ESX boxes. They get different values for Vendor and Machine Type now, assuming the SNMP on ESX is set up right.
Can you point me to where I can find how to setup SNMP correctly on ESX for use with Orion? I have the same hosts set in Orion since version 7 or 8.
We don't have any particular expertise on setting up VMware. When I googled SNMP for VMware ESX, I got a VMware support page for ESX v2.0. I would suggest looking at their support site or contacting them directly.
using Orion version 9.1 and a RO community screen you should see something like...Displaying the vmware icon is something new in the 9.1 release.
There is a new ESX View that will be avaiable to take advantage of the new information. Make certain that the servers are configured in Admin /Views by device type (VMware ESX Server).
I must have something limited in my snmp configuration that it returns net-snmp.
