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 we are receiving this alert from time to time but no actual reboot happens how can we reduce this false-positive alert every time we get this we check the VM and it's run time more than months & no Event ID for that Alert Message The Virtual Machine has Rebooted The Host was Down for 0 Minutes Run Time: 0 Minutes
It looks like we are going to need to patch Vcenter due to CVE-2024-38812 We will be upgrading from 8.0u2 to 8.0u3b. I have been asked to review compatibility with the newest version of Vcenter. We have not had issues in the past, but I looked for a compatibility matrix of Virtualization Manager and versions of Vcenter and…
ANYTIME we build a new ESXI host, VMAN automatically detects it through the vct. You see it on the virtualization page, but nowhere else. If you hover over the esxi host i see that is actually a totally different device that has been monitored by SolarWinds for months. I found that the virtual device is sharing the same…
Hi Everyone, My Request: When ESXi host changes status, VMAN should read whole alert message from vCenter (or maybe some additional parameters), and at least represent it by appropriate state description (like 'Alert forwarded from vCenter', or full message from vCenter). * The state of ESXi host - caused by alert read…
VMware ESXi 7.03 host running on Supermicro SYS-1029TP-DC1R server is showing a hardware health issue (power supply not present or failed) that used to be true, but no longer is. The node is polled through vCenter. The host is all green in vCenter, as well as in IPMI/BMC hardware health monitoring. Is there a simple way to…
Hi All, I am new to Solarwinds. I would like to monitor a vSphere environment. I have added the vCenter to Solarwinds, and it scans and bombards me with things that are either good or bad, everything fine... But now i want to exclude certain vm's from an alert for example i want to exclude them from the "VMs with Large…
The _VMs with Bad Tools alert is reporting nearly half of my VM's have bad tools. When I log into vSphere, all of the VM's test and report the tools are current. Is there a fix for this?
Problem: We have recently added two VMs to VMAN and the VMs are showing with 'Up' for Node Details, however, Virtual Center Details shows 'Unknown' for the VCenter status on one of them, while the other shows information correctly. The Clusters\Hosts\Guests 'with problems' sections are all showing 'Parent vCenter/ESX has…
