VMware Configuration Wizard Error

Trying to use the VMware Configuration Wizard and I am getting:
Error: It appears as though you have not installed the VMware SDK or ESX plugins on your Nagios XI server. You must have these components properly installed on your system before using this wizard.
The vmware SDK is installed and working as is the plugin.
# /usr/bin/vmware-cmd --version
vSphere SDK for Perl version: 6.7.0

I would recommend that you reinstall SDK on your Nagios XI server, but make sure that you install some of the following perl modules BEFORE attempting the SDK install (in case they are not installed already):
Code: Select all
cpan -i YAML
yum install libxml2-devel xml2
yum install libuuid-devel
cpan -i UUID
cpan -i XML::LibXML
cpan -i Socket
cpan -i Socket6
cpan -i IO::Socket::INET6
yum install perl-Module-Build
Next, rerun the vmware-install.pl script:
Code: Select all
cd /tmp/vmware-vsphere-cli-distrib
./vmware-install.pl
Optionally, you could update some of the modules that are "old" - you may see a message after installing SDK, indicating that some of the modules are too old.
Next, run the vmware wizard against the remove machine, and see if the checks would work as expected.
Let us know if this helped.

Still does not work.
I performed all the steps suggested.
reinstalled the sdk, it was successful:
This installer has successfully installed both vSphere CLI and the vSphere SDK
for Perl.
The following Perl modules were found on the system but may be too old to work
with vSphere CLI:
Socket6 0.28 or newer
Enjoy,
--the VMware team
It only reported Socket6 to update, but cpan shows it is at 0.28:
# cpan -i Socket6
Reading '/root/.cpan/Metadata'
Database was generated on Fri, 24 Aug 2018 11:54:23 GMT
Socket6 is up to date (0.28).
The sdk and plugin do work when ran manually.
But the VMware config wizard step 1 still reports that the sdk or plugin is not installed.

Do they work when run as the nagios user? It is possible that the required packages are not installed in the nagios users search path

it does not work when I run it as nagios:
ESX3 UNKNOWN - Missing perl module VMware::VIRuntime. Download and install 'VMware vSphere SDK for Perl', available at
https://my.vmware.com/group/vmware/downloads
But the nagios user has the path to the vmware sdk binaries.

Did you install all of the prerequisites prior to installing the SDK as outlined in our official documentation?
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf
Run the following command from the command line, and post the output in code wraps:
Code: Select all
yum list installed | grep 'perl\|libuuid'

@rb8telitcom, Please run the following command as root user, and then as the nagios user and share the output with us:
perl -e "print \"@INC\""

I created another VM/Nagios XI from scratch and everything works fine on it.
So I backed up from the old and restored to the new and all is well for me now.
Its a relatively new install so I didn't have much to transfer much anyway.
Thanks for your help trying to trouble shoot the original VM.
