VMWare ESX 4 Discovery in SMP 7.1

  • 1.  VMWare ESX 4 Discovery in SMP 7.1

    Posted Feb 25, 2011 07:57 AM

    Hi all:

    I'm trying to discover a couple of ESX 4 test servers from the SMP 7.1, but I'm not able to get them discovered. From the SMP 7.1 machine, I can ping succesfully the two ESX machines.

    I did run the wizard (Home / Discovery and Inventory / Network Discovery and, in the quick start actions, "Launch Discovery Wizard").

    Here are the values I included in the wizard:

    1.- Choose method of device discovery: Ping

    2.- Enter network IP ranges: I selected "Include an IP address", and typed the IP address of each ESX

    3.- Select device communication profile: I created a new profile in which I included the ICMP and SNMP protocols (in the SNMP comunity string, I typed the community configured in both ESX machines)

    4.- Enter task name: I named the task :)

    5.- Choose when to run the discovery: I selected the option for running now the task.

    After this steps are finished, a new task appears in the Network Discovery window. It shows "Start pending" since a long time.

    Am I missing any step?

     

    Thanks:
