VMWare server on SLES

Submitted by Anonymous on December 1, 2006 - 09:38.

I have installed bixagent 2.6 on an SLES box but ma having a problem with collecting data for the VMWare images. Desktop is showing the server as a vmware server but on the virtualization tab no VMs are showing. Bixagent is running fine and showing the vmware guests on my Ubuntu boxes, just not the SLES ones. There is nothing unusual in the agent output so the only things I can think of are the vmware path and the fact that VMWare server is running on a non standard port (904) on SLES.

I triple checked the vmware path and it is correct and I can't find any reference to the port so I am out of idea.

Hi You should check the path

Hi

You should check the path in the agent's xml/vmware-cfg.xml to make sure that it points to the directories where your vmware images are.

Also, make sure that your hosts' time is up to date, if its more than 90 seconds off, it will throw off agent.

If any of the above is applicable, restart the agents and then restart server.

That was it thanks, the clocks were 3 min off. I set up a cron job to sync clocks, which I probably should have been doing anyway.

Thanks again.
