How to get information from Linux servers

Hi,

Thanks for your post. Have you looked at the tutorials section in OME? There is a tutorial for managing Linux servers. There are useful white papers in the Wiki section located at the following link

http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/systems-management/w/wiki/1989.openmanage-essentials.aspx

In essence, for managing Linux servers, you will install OMSA on those servers and use SNMP for discovery/inventory. You will also set the trap destination as OME server on the Linux machines.

OME is compatiblem with ESX 5.0???

Are you asking about ESX 5 (classic) or ESX-i 5.0?

Yep

Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

I saw this information

en.community.dell.com/.../20071085.aspx

And now i am confuse... i have to all that says in this document to make it work fine?

So OME will support ESX 4.1 (that is the last classic release).  And we support ESXi 5.0.  There is no classic ESX5.

If you are trying to support classic 4.x, you need to install OMSA (Linux).  And as mentioned, we have a tutorial in the OME console that gives a bit of information.

Thanks much,

Rob

Im sorry Rob,

I'm not sure of what versin my custumer have so i would like to know of both ESXi and ESX.

But i saw in the matrix that you send me, ESX 5 is not supported, is that right?

BTW, versions listed here:

en.wikipedia.org/.../VMware_ESX

Yes I understand.

Your post from 2:20pm mentioned ESX 5.

Then the next post at 2:57  had a link to an ESX i 5 document.

So I'm not clear on what your question is.  But if you can provide more details I'll be happy to help.

thanks,

Rob

Yes, exactly.  There are some steps you need to do in order to enable management of the ESXi system.

There is also a video for this, but it shows ESXi 4.  There may be some value to it still.

Rob

But if i have an ESXi i will have to do that procedure??
