Disclaimer: Excuse me if I use the wrong terminology or sound like a newbie, it's because I am. =)

I'm using check_esxi_hardware.py on 2 different esxi hosts. I created a service for esxi1 and one for esxi2. I pull the redundant power supply cable on esxi1, and the service details screen shows error message as it should for esxi1, but it also shows error message for esxi2! It appears XI thinks I am monitoring just esxi1 for both the services that I created. I've double and triple checked my configuration and made sure the ip addresses are in fact different. I've "Test Check Command" on both services and ran the script from the terminal, and they outputted correctly.

Anybody familiar with this command or where to check next?

Thanks

If you go to
Configure -> CCM -> Services -> esxi1
Click Manage Host

Tell me what it says for that host

Then do the same thing for esxi2

We need to make sure we have a separate host created for each of these ESX hosts

You hit it right on the spot! Thanks! I think I understand the relationships now. I was under the false assumption that entering the correct IP address for the arg was good enough. thanks again for the quick reply.
