VMWare ESXi Volume/Datastore Names/Symlinks

Hi Liam Hughes, we have not received the additional information requested earlier from you in this issue 'Hi, 

Wondering if it is possible when polling an ESXi server to bring back the Datastore names that have been set in VMware, as opposed to the Volume ID strings that are returned.

Would make it easier when monitoring to know which Datastore is which without having to manually link the two together.

Unless I am missing something here.

Many thanks, 

Liam'!

I don't think VMWare exposes this information in SNMP. There doesn't seem to be any place for it in their MIBs.

Please make and attach additional information about the device:

• full snmp dump from device:

  snmpwalk -v2c -c <community> --hexOutputLength=0 -ObentxU <hostname> .1 > myagent.snmpwalk

  snmpwalk -v2c -c <community> --hexOutputLength=0 -ObentxU <hostname> .1.3.6.1.4.1 >> myagent.snmpwalk

  If device not support SNMP version 2c, replace -v2c with -v1.

• If you have problems with discovery or poller processes, please do and attach these debugs:

  ./discovery.php -d -h <device>

  ./poller.php -d -h <device>

• additionally attach device and/or vendor specific MIB files
