Hi all,
has any one managed to get the ibm director agent working on a IBM HS22 blade runing VM Ware ESCI 5.0?
sensors in vm ware show more information that what SAM is showing
It's unlikely installing the IBM Director Agent on the ESXi host net you any additional hardware details. What specifically are you not seeing that you should? How are you polling the ESXi host? Directly or through a vCenter? A screenshot may be beneficial.
screen shots attached
It looks like this node is being polled directly and not through a vCenter. We have an open enhancement request to collect storage information from ESX host polled directly. This is being tracked internally as FB103915. If this node is managed by a vCenter you can manage this node through that and see physical disk health status information.
Thanks Alterego, any why that i can track this?
You can contact support to make inquiries on the status of requests.
Hi AlterEgo,
should i see hardward when polling VCenter?
You should, provided the Hardware Plugin is enabled on your vCenter
i can only find this plugin from ibm
http://ibmdsstorage.com/software/vcenter-plug-in.html
are there any others that you know off
The Hardware Plugin is included as part of vCenter. It's disabled by default but is easily enabled through the vCenter UI.
