If you have the HP OEM versions of ESXi, and vCenter Server, some hardware alerts if triggered in vCenter Server, will alert you, otherwise you will need to use SNMP and HP Systems Insight Manager to monitor your environment.<br />
<br />
So do you get Alerts in ESXi/vCenter Server ?
</div>


<div>
hi Andrew, Where can I setup or enable the alert in Vcenter ?<br />
<br />
Some of the ESXi server is installed by using the standard image not from the HP image. I assume I can just upgrade it to the latest edition by performing inline upgrade with no data / configuration lost.
</div>


<div>
OK, so my plan will be: <br />
<br />
1. Apply firmware update on the server using HP SPP<br />
2. install the latest HPE ESXi image manually through iLO on top of the current running ESXi server.<br />
3. Configure the alarm definition <b>Health status changed alarm</b><br />
<br />
is that correct ?

People,<br />
<br />
I'm running HP Proliant rack servers ranging from G5-G9 for all of my ESXi server 5.1 - 6.0, some of the servers reporting the broken local disk and also PowerSupply.<br />
<br />
How do I get some hardware issue / alerting from the ESXi server ?<br />
<br />
Thanks,

Hardware status and alerting for ESXi servers ?

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
