ESX 6.0 U2 - Built in VMware check

[gornm565]

I used the built-in Configuration Wizard in Nagios XI to monitor an ESX 6.0 U2 host. All of the monitoring is working fine except the 2 checks: "Networking for VMHost" and "VM Status for VMHost". The error that comes up is:

"ESX3 CRITICAL - Can't load class 'HostSriovInfo' at /usr/share/perl5/VMware/VIMRuntime.pm line 52." What could this be caused by?


I see someone had the same exact issue on this forum and opened a ticket on it but the solution was never posted: https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... 16&t=31941

Which sdk version did you install on XI?

[gornm565]

Nagios XI is a VM that was provided to us - we deployed it from template and it was prepackaged by Nagios. We haven't installed anything on it.

There isn't a built-in VMWare check that works by default, so how are you using that?

There is a built in check under Configure - > Configuration Wizard -> VMware

True but that is a wizard not a check. It also comes up with this page on a pristine install:

You should be able to find your SDK version by:

Code: Select all

# vmware-cmd --version

[gornm565]

vSphere SDK for Perl version: 5.1.0
Script 'vmware-cmd' version: 5.1.0

I updated the SDK to 6.0 and now everything works. new version:

vSphere SDK for Perl version: 6.0.0
Script 'vmware-cmd' version: 6.0.0

Please run:

Code: Select all

# cpan -l | gzip > /tmp/cpan.txt.gz

Then attach the file /tmp/cpan.txt.gz

The issue has been solved with installing the latest SDK.

the command you gave me doesn't work.

# cpan -l
Unknown option: l
Nothing to install!
