7. Congure SNMP, for hardware alerts on the ESXi 5 host, to send SNMP traps to OpenManage Essentials. SNMP is not used

for discovery. WS-Man is required for discovery and inventory of an ESXi 5 host. To group the VMs with the ESXi host in the

OpenManage Essentials device tree after you discover the VM, SNMP must be enabled on the ESXi host and the VM.

8. Create a discovery range and congure WS-Man.

For more information on setting up and conguring ESXi 5, see the How to setup and congure ESXi 5 for use in OME technical
