Disabling ping discovery
Virtualization Manager pings hosts before collection to quickly find or skip hosts. If
port 7 is blocked, Virtualization Manager may fail to discover and collect
information from Hyper-V sources. You can either open port 7 or disable the ping.
To disable the ping:
1. Log on to the administration website of the installation
(https://ipAddress:5480) as user admin and password admin.
2. Navigate to SolarWinds Mgmt.
3. Click Edit Configuration.
4. Select hyper9-config.xml, and then click Edit.
5. Search forwmiexec.ping.enabled and wmiexec.rpccheck.enabled, and then
set both keys to false. For example:
<entry key="wmiexec.ping.enabled">false</entry><entry
key="wmiexec.rpccheck.enabled">false</entry>
6. Click Save.
7. Restart the virtual appliance.
Configuring Virtualization Manager to identify ESX hosts by name
Virtualization Manager uses SMBIOS IDs to keep track of ESX hosts. Based on
SMBIOS IDs Virtualization Manager builds its internal globally unique identifiers
(GUIDs).
