Issue with ESX 3.5 in IT Assistant
I have server administrator installed on an ESX 3.5 server. The services are running and I can login to and work with the Server Administrator console on the ESX 3.5 host. I have setup and configured the etc/snmp/snmpd.conf file accordingly because when I stop the snmp services on the ESX host it is registering on IT Assistant.
When running IT Assistant though I cannot get the ESX host to actually inventory or show up under the the server node. It will only display as unknown. I have checked the SNMP server firewall rule so it can pass the alerts. But! When right click the esx server host, selecting troubleshooting and the SNMP Connectivity test it always fails.
The error I get is: Unable to detect the presense of Agent Software
Any ideas on what I may be overlooking here? I can access the host console on port 1311 and when I restart the snmp daemon it sends an alert to IT Assistant.

- This has been resolved. Im not sure if the problem was due to my original community being rw and not ro. I changed the community trap to ro remmed a couple lines in the smtpd.conf, rescanned all my subnet ranges and its working now. Truthfully Im not sure which change did it, but its going now.
So thanks Jeff. DELL-Jeff M

I'm glad to hear it is working. The community names are a common cause of discovery and other problems, so that is probably what fixed it.Shawn Cannon

How do you install the OpenManage Server Admin piece on a PowerEdge 2950 that is build as an ESX 3.5 server? I am used to installing it on a Windows server and not a build of Linux. Thanks....
