We upgraded 6 of our HP BL460c blades to ESXi 5 Update 1 for Windows 8 and Server 2012 development. Everything is working OK except that I cannot SNMP monitoring to work on any of them. I have gone over the documentation and various online posts on the subject and all my settings look OK. Both port UDP161 and 162 are open in the firewalls, The /etc/snmp/xml file has the correct entries and is enabled. But I get nothing to my Cacti monitor. snmpwalk fails for all 6.However, I am seeing a few queries that seem to be returning some data.
I also deoloyed the vMA .ovf which will not start as there is no IP pool available. All the corp servers are fixed IPs and the other VMs are getting addresses from our DHCP servers. The vMA has a fixed IP in the server range. What do I need to do to get this thing working?
