Using Dell IT Assistant in a Citrix XenServer
Environment
ITA can be used for discovery, monitoring, and management of XenServer
hosts. IT Assistant uses SNMP to manage Dell systems running Citrix
XenServer Dell Edition.
To manage XenServer hosts using ITA, follow the steps below:
1
Specify SNMP community name : Log in to XenServer local console shell
and edit the following entries in the
/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf file to set your
SNMP community name.
rocommunity <community name>
trapcommunity <community name>
2
Configure SNMP traps : Configure the SNMP daemon to send SNMP trap
messages to the management console. Edit
/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf file and
edit the following line to the end of the file:
trapsink <ITA_IP_Address> <community name>
3
After making changes to /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf , save the file and restart
snmpd service:
# service snmpd restart
4
Using XenServer hostname or management IP address, perform a
discovery and inventory of XenServer host in IT Assistant. IT Assistant will
discover XenServer hosts and list them under the Servers category.
For more information on using IT Assistant to discover, inventory, monitor,
and manage Dell systems, see the Dell OpenManage IT Assistant
documentation available on the Dell Support website at
