I don't get the ESXi green in ITA. It is listed under the category VMware ESX Servers, but without the Health State (grey and with a question mark only)
I know that you can configure SNMP per remote CLI to receive the traps in the ITA Management station and generate E-Mails with that..... And yes, you have the embedded Open Manage in the Dell Version of ESXi which you can access per the Open Manage Webservice from remote. (if anybody is interested, for how to enable OMSA on ESXi just send me an e-mail and I will send you the description with some screenshots) Officially the embedded OMSA is earliest supported with G11 systems - like a R610 or R710. But I don't know if the Health Agent is included in the embedded OMSA which you need to get it shown as green, yellow or red in ITA. I also read some documents where I found (or mean to understand) that the Health State can only be checked with WS-MAN, instead of SNMP. WS-MAN isn't supported for the ITA, only for the DELL Management Console (also free but it must installed on a w2k3 (at least a vm) with MS IIS running) but here I still don't have the time to test at the moment. If someone has some more information I'm really interested in and it would be great if it will be send to the whole list or me on CC.

With ESXi you can setup snmp alerts to send to ITA. On Wed, Apr 28, 2010 at 7:49 PM, gregorcy <[email protected]> wrote: Thanks Bryan, I guess I should have given more details. I do have virtual center setup. Should I just set an snmp alert on the ESXi server and let the VC server all the alerts. The reason I asked is I saw a place in the IT assistant for VMware. Do you know if that is supported? Also what is the difference between the Dell customized VMware iso and the regular VMware iso? Just drivers maybe.

I installed it with the Dell customized iso that downloaded from VMware but I have not been able to get it to show up with ITA.
