taking vm data from esx

ufuk

Hello,

We want to learn if it is possible to take vm data from the esx on which it is hosted and monitor the vm by this way?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Ufuk

check the switch "Poll for VMware" and then fill your ESX credential to "VMware Polling Settings".

When you add your ESX or vCenter as node to SAM, with VMWare credential, then you can see all hierarchy of machines which belongs to it.

When you click to any VM in virtualization tree, then Orion asks you, if you want add the machine as node and start to poll HW information.

Hello tomasv,

Thank you very much. So what I should do is writing the IP of esx in “add node” page which is attached? Is Wmware credential vmmanager(vcenter) user? Where should I write this credential?

Thank you very much.

Ufuk

Orion doesn't support IBM virtualization in the same way as VMware and Hyper-V in this moment

There are some templates shared on Thwack regarding LPAR:

AIX_LPAR-disk

AIX_LPAR_non-disk

And out of box there is one common AIX template - AIX

Hi tomasv,

Thank you very much.

Is it possible to do the configuration to take vm data from esx by NPM? Or is SAM is necessary for this?

Thanks for your help.

Both SAM and NPM use Virtualization module (VIM) to discover Vmware/Hyper-V nodes.

So if you run NPM and SAM integrated on the same server, it doesn't matter, if you discovery/configure your nodes in NPM or SAM. The information is shared across Orion platform.

Hello tomasv,

I tried the configuration on Esx. I wrote Esx IP and esx credentials, then I pressed Next button. Then the page seen below appeared. The page containing hierarchy of machines didn’t appear. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for your help.

Ufuk

Continue and finish creating of the node.

Once node is created, Orion start to poll its information.

Then go to detail page of the node, you shud see hierarchy of VMs, which belongs to it.
