new error messages with the vcenter host

Post by ancovington »

There are new error messages with the vcenter host. Could you please assist?:

UNKNOWN: Login to VirtualCentre server failed: Server version unavailable at 'https://vc540001a-esi5.admin.bcps.k12.m ... rvice.wsdl' at /usr/share/perl5/VMware/VICommon.pm line 551.

Did the host name change or were any firewall rules pushed to the vcenter server? Can you access that specific address from a browser?

No to host name/firewall changes? Or no to being able to access the address? No to both?

No there hasn't been a change to the hostname or the firewall. Yes I can access the web address.

Open the "check_esx3.pl" plugin in a text editor, and add the following line in the beginning of the script (right above the "use strict;" line).

Code: Select all

$ENV{'PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME'} = 0;
Save and exit. Let us know if this helped.

What type of check are you running? Can you post the full check command?

I am not running any checks. When you remoted in, the Nagios server was only seeing 1 cpu, but I created the OVF template with 4 CPUs.

Sounds like a vmware issue. You do need to reboot the vm for those types of hardware changes to take effect. Do the vm properties show 4 provisioned cpus?
