Enabling CIM OEM Providers Using vMA (For VMware ESXi 4.0/ESXi 4.1)
To enable CIM OEM providers on the VMware ESXi system using vMA:
1.
Log in to the vMA as an administrator and provide the password when prompted.
2.
Execute the command vicfg-advcfg --server <ip_address of ESXi host> --username
<user_name> --password <password> --set 1 UserVars.CIMOEMProvidersEnabled
NOTE: For ESXi 4.0, use CIMOEMProvidersEnabled and for ESXi 4.1, use CIMoemProviderEnabled.
3.
For the changes to take effect without restarting the system, use the Restart Management Agents option in the
DCUI on the local console of the VMware ESXi system.
If the changes are not effective and you cannot connect to the VMware ESXi host using Server Administrator,
restart the VMware ESXi host system.

Reboot the system after uninstalling.
Configuring The SNMP Agent On Systems Running VMware ESXi
Server Administrator generates Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps in response to changes in the
status of sensors and other monitored parameters. You must configure one or more trap destinations on the system
running Server Administrator to send SNMP traps to a management station.
Server Administrator supports SNMP traps on VMware ESXi but does not support SNMP Get and Set operations
because VMware ESXi does not provide the required SNMP support. You can use the VMware vSphere CLI to configure
VMware ESXi to send SNMP traps to a management application.
NOTE: For more information about using the VMware vSphere CLI, see the VMware support site at vmware.com/
support.
Configuring The System To Send Traps To A Management Station Using The vSphere CLI
Server Administrator generates SNMP traps in response to changes in the status of sensors and other monitored
parameters. One or more trap destinations must be configured on the system running Server Administrator to send
SNMP traps to a management station.
Configure the ESXi system running Server Administrator to send traps to a management station:
1.
Install the VMware vSphere CLI.
2.
Open a command prompt on the system in which the vSphere CLI is installed.
3.
Navigate to the directory in which the vSphere CLI is installed. The default location on Linux is /usr/bin and on
Windows is C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware vSphere CLI\bin.
