Configuring the SNMP Agent on Systems Running Supported VMware ESXi 4.X and ESXi 5.X Operating Systems Server Administrator supports SNMP traps on VMware ESXi 4.X and ESXi 5.X. If a standalone license is only present, SNMP configuration fails on VMware ESXi operating systems. Server Administrator does not support SNMP Get and Set operations on VMWare ESXi 4.X and ESXi 5.x as the required SNMP support is unavailable. The VMware vSphere Command- Line Interface (CLI) is used to configure systems running VMware ESXi 4.X and ESXi 5.X to send SNMP traps to a management station. NOTE: For more information about using the VMware vSphere CLI, see vmware.com/support. Configuring Your System to Send Traps to a Management Station Server Administrator generates SNMP traps in response to changes in the status of sensors and other monitored parameters. One or more trap destinations must be configured on the system running Server Administrator for SNMP traps to be sent to a management station. To configure your ESXi system running Server Administrator to send traps to a management station, perform the following steps: 1 Install the VMware vSphere CLI. 2 Open a command prompt on the system where the VMware vSphere CLI is installed. 3 Change to the directory where the VMware vSphere CLI is installed. The default location on Linux is /usr/bin. The default location on Windows is C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware vSphere CLI\bin. 4 Execute the following command: vicfg-snmp.pl --server --username --password -c -t @162/ 42 Setup and Administration
where is the hostname or IP address of the ESXi system, is a user on the ESXi system, is the password of the ESXi user, is the SNMP community name and is the hostname or IP address of the management station. NOTE: The extension .pl is not required on Linux. NOTE: If you do not specify a user name and password, you are prompted. The SNMP trap configuration takes effect immediately without restarting any services. Firewall Configuration on Systems Running Supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux Operating Systems and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server If you enable firewall security while installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux/SUSE Linux, the SNMP port on all external network interfaces is closed by default. To enable SNMP management applications such as IT Assistant to discover and retrieve information from Server Administrator, the SNMP port on at least one external network interface must be open. If Server Administrator detects that the SNMP port is not open in the firewall for any external network interface, Server Administrator displays a warning message and logs a message to the system log. You can open the SNMP port by disabling the firewall, opening an entire external network interface in the firewall, or opening the SNMP port for at least one external network interface in the firewall. You can perform this action before or after Server Administrator is started. To open the SNMP port on Red Hat Enterprise Linux using one of the previously described methods, perform the following steps: 1 At the Red Hat Enterprise Linux command prompt, type setup and press to start the Text Mode Setup Utility. NOTE: This command is available only if you have performed a default installation of the operating system. The Choose a Tool menu appears. 2 Select Firewall Configuration using the down arrow and press . The Firewall Configuration screen appears. Setup and Administration 43
