Setup and Administration 39
4
Configure the trap destination using the following command:
<Destination_IP_Address> <community_name>
The trapsink specification is required to send traps defined in the
proprietary MIBs.
5
Restart mgmt-vmware service with the following command:
service mgmt-vmware restart
6
Restart the snmpd service with the following command:
service snmpd start
NOTE: If the srvadmin is installed and the services are already started, restart
the services as they depend on the
snmpd
service.
7
Run the following command so that the snmpd daemon starts on every
reboot:
chkconfig snmpd on
8
Run the following command to ensure that the SNMP ports are open
before sending traps to the management station.
esxcfg-firewall -e snmpd
Configuring the SNMP Agent on Systems Running Supported VMware
ESXi 4.X Operating Systems
Server Administrator supports SNMP traps on VMware ESXi 4.X. The Server
Administrator does not support SNMP Get and Set operations on VMWare
ESXi 4.x as the required SNMP support is unavailable. The VMware vSphere
Command-Line Interface (CLI) is used to configure a system running
VMware ESXi 4.X to send SNMP traps to a management station.
NOTE: For more information about using the VMware vSphere CLI, see the
VMware support site at 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.
