So I've just finished a project for a client where we have replaced two existing hosts (1 & 2) and installed two new hosts (3 & 4). One thing to note, the replacements for the existing hosts kept the same IP address. But the root PW is different. On SW Orion, I have added the two new hosts (3 & 4) into our VMWare…
Hi Dears , I’d like to get your advice regarding VMware monitoring in SEM. What is the best approach for monitoring — should we monitor vSphere, Vcenter, the ESXi servers, or the individual hosts? What kind of information or log details can we expect to get from each (vSphere vs ESXi vs hosts)? Is vSphere 5.0 still…
Hi, I have a number of ESX servers running on DELL or part of UCS chassis that are not reporting Hardware details through the vCenter. I can see that other ESX in the same vCenter report those metrics appropriately. Does anybody know what causes this behavior and how to get the information needed? Thank you
hello, It's possible NPM to query Vmware esxi build number?
We have been using VMware Polling servers for ESXi Versions 5.1, 5.5, 6.0 and 6.5 with no issues. Recently we tried to add a server with Version 6.7 but Orion keeps failing to login using root credentials. There's no FW, ACLs or port filtering in between, so I'd like to know if someone have experienced the same problem and…
Currently, I have a "Read-Only" service account for SolarWinds on my ESXI server. I am not able to poll status on hardware health I noticed that if I change the type of account to "Administrator" (with default admin permission on ESXI) I am able to poll all hardware health. So, I want to create a custom profile that will…
We need to identify and monitor these HBA's so we can set up alerting for connectivity loss when necessary. Asset Inventory shows the hardware model, but does not display firmware/software versions...showing as "unknown" for all. See screenshots and attached text file below...they only show up under "other" as "add-in…
Hi Gang! Apologies for my complete lack of ignorance here! While we do have a SolarWinds deployment, I've not yet had to touch it and recently just started playing with it. We have several vCenter deploys with each having several ESXi nodes. Each ESXi has several VMs that are fixed in place. DRS is not enabled due to…
We have an issue in our Orion environment where many of our ESX hosts don't get properly matched to the corresponding UCS blade they live on (you can see my recent questions/rant about that here). Because of this, I've noticed some pretty big differences in the hardware health information available on the ESX Node Details…
I could use some help. I do not have VMAN, but I do have SAM, NCM, and NPM with unlimited licensing. What is the best I can do with the mentioned licensing and basic poling using API, SNMP etc for vSphere 7? Some general advice would go a long way for me. Here are the components of our environment and what I need…
