VMware ESX Server view

KCWayner over 15 years ago

I upgraded to NPM 9.1 just yesterday to utilize the cool new functions for VM ESX servers. I can find ways to look at the servers but not in the default way. In order to see all the hosted servers, I have to manage the views and add the ESX fields to the Nodes Detailed View. Looking at the View by Device Type, they should be shown as "ESX Server Details" versus the default view. Is there something I can tweak to make them show correctly? Looking in the Node Details, the machine type is VMware ESX Server.

Also check the Node Details View in the Edit Account page to also be set to "By Device Type". Thanks

Be sure that you've got your Views by Device Type set correctly.

Under Views by Device Type it is set to ESX Server Details for VMware ESX Server.

That did the trick. Thanks for the quick response. I hadn't expanded that part of the settings before.

I know it's just me, but I still don't get it. I just upgraded to v9.1 (from v9.0) but I don't see where/how to get the vm guests to list under their respective ESX hosts.
In Orion, I went to 'Admin', 'Views by Device Type', located 'VMware ESX Server' and changed the drop-down to 'Node Details'.
So when I go back to my HomePage, and look at 'All Nodes' (which is grouped by Vendor, Status), I don't see the guests.

David, How about the zones for Solaris 10? They all fall under unknown group. I have my view sorted by Machine Type.
