Check out the VMAN 8.1 RC which should be in your customer Portal downloads late tonight or early tomorrow morning. This will have CIM for Azure.

Hello, The WPM player WPM is based on IE and only works with Internet Explorer 8 or 9 at this time.

Just for confirmation, do you want list of all users on the appliance or in Orion (w/VMAN integration)?

Umut When you are in the Setup tab and select Configuration Summary does the appliance performance look ok (as seen in the pic below)? If the performance window shows the appliance as good then check the following items. 1. Confirm there are not large or multiple snapshots on the appliance 2. Confirm the network drops are…

Hi Brian How was the appinsight added to the node? Also how was the node added in Orion, via SNMP, WMI, or ICMP?

Are you referring to monitoring each individual OS on the VM through SNMP or WMI or are you just talking about gathering VMAN data on each VM. Virtualization Manager will automatically collect each VM data when you poll the vcenter or ESX host. We do have some discovery features we are working on which can be found here:…

Hi mharvey is correct, Solarwinds monitors Hyper-V with WMI. Can you tell me if you are using virtualization manager or just Orion? If you are using Virtualization Manager you can add the host to virtualization manager and then integrate vman into Orion. If you just own Orion then you will need to add it as a node (using…

Wilson The Hardware health information is polled either via CIM or the VMware API, depending how the node is managed/polled in Orion. If the host is polled directly, then the CIM protocol is used. If the ESX host is polled through vCenter, then the VMware API is used for hardware health. I assume you have validated that…

Mat Which version of SAM are you on and which version of the orion platform is displayed when you lookat the bottom banner.

Did you find the answer for this? There was a query limitation in vsphere 6 that required you to manually change the the limitation in vsphere or upgrade to VMAN 6.3.1 and IVIM 2.1.1 that modified this for you automatically.

VMAN does not currently have the network functionality described but it is something we are looking into.

No compatibility issues, which version of VMAN and IVIm are you running?

Are you receiving other data in VMAN, just missing datastore information?

Good Morning. To answer your question we do get reports of security vulnerabilities with the most recent being ShellShock (see thwack post ShellShock Vulnerability and Solarwinds Products) and we evaluate our susceptibility to those vulnerabilities. If a zero day vulnerability is found to be exploitable then we start…

Tom You can definitely implement a PowerShell script through Solarwinds (Creating a Windows PowerShell Monitor) and you can store the data results in Orion. The concern I have is that in a single poll you may a different Device/name and IP with the same connection count but at a different poll interval..

hey, we are currently working on a costop counter for VMAN. To find additional items we are work on go to the thwack page Virtualization Manager - What We Are Working On

Joern That is correct it is not included in VMAN 6.2 but that is not for lack of wanting to add it. Until the recent release of vSphere 6 VMware did not provide tag info through their API which VMAN uses to gather information on the vSPhere environment. Now that vSPhere 6 is out I would expect us to provide Tag support but…

Go to Setup - License Information - Activate license and paste your license activation key. You should have two license keys a primary & secondary. If you plan on integrating with Orion then install the secondary on the appliance and the primary on the Orion instance. If you plan on running just the appliance then install…

The following guide from the vman customer success site has information regarding the free VMAN APE * VMAN Deployment Sizing Guide

it is the account used to access the appliance. The account should also have vCenter permissions is connecting to a vSenvironmentrnment.

Hi Joe The SolarWinds-Virtualization Manager Orion Module-v2.0-FullWithSql.exe is the install for the Orion Stand - Alone module that we introduced with Virtualization Manager (VMAN) 6.2. As we continue to advance the feature set found in VMAN we have been building tighter integration on the Orion platform and providing…

Crzyfst**** In order to get the datastore name that is experiencing the high latency you would need to use the "Datastore High Latency" alert vs using the "Host to Datastore Latency" alert. The reason you are probably having trouble corresponding the alert to a specific datastore or VM with high latency is that the Host to…

Unfortunately the list is not sortable. Is there a particular list this is causing problems or just all drop downs in general?

Byron When you integrate VMAN with SAM, the integration wizard will move all polling over to VMAN. Sometimes there are outliers when a VM has multiple IP addresses but support can help address those.

Oliver I apologize for the much delayed response. You are correct, in order to use a custom property to limit a view you would need to have each VM added as a node. VIM actually does not use a node license when pulling a VM into the environment using VIM. VIM will however count each host as a node which gives you the…

Are you trying to integrate the VMAN appliance with Orion? If so you should be adding the IP address of the appliance.

Starting with VMAN 6.3 this should update once the performance poll completes which is default every 10 mins. if polling has completed and youa re still seeing the same thing we should probably open a ticket with support and provide them diagnostic data.

Carl Try this KB article. VMAN does not startup on vSphere 6.5 due to unsupported guest OS - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support

Sorry for the delayed response but I wanted to chime in with some info. The VMAN appliance will integrate with the SRM Profiler Module only. If you are using the SRM Orion Module and VMAN is integrated with Orion then the link from the datastore to storage LUN will be made automatically. Here is some info regarding SRM vs…
