Unable to add vcenter

noobuser

I am unable to add vcenter into lpar2rrd. As soon as I click on save or save and test connection I get an error message.

Any reason why keeps doing that? I have tested the connection manually and it works fine.

Thanks in advance

Pavel

Hi,

cd /home/lpar2rd/lpar2rrd

tail logs/error-cgi.log

noobuser

its empty. nothing in there

noobuser

just tried to save and test connection and this is what I get.

Hi,

looks like PERL path /opt/freeware/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/ppc-thread-multi is either missing or is on the wrong position in PERL5LIB variable

cd /home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd

vi etc/lpar2rrd.cfg
and put /opt/freeware/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/ppc-thread-multi on the 3rd position in PERL5LIB

Here you can find example of PERL5LIB https://www.stor2rrd.com/https.htm

Then test it again, error will disappear.

noobuser

worked
but another error.

Pavel

follow this to assure you have all prerequisites https://www.stor2rrd.com/https.htm

what is vCenter version? 6.7.

You must install Perl SDK 6.7 then.

noobuser

its version 6.

noobuser

any help?

Pavel

Hi,

are you sure that username is correct?

Should not it be in format like user@domain.com

Can you log-in to the vCenter under that user via the web browser?

noobuser

Logged into the system using the account

noobuser

looks like getting there.

noobuser

when running /home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd/load.sh I see this error now.

noobuser

anyone seen this message in the vmware log file? I have infact added path to "VIRuntime.pm" in lpar2rrd.cfg under PERL LIB path.

:cat  error.log-vmware

Hi,

just this path should be there : /home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd/vmware-lib/ , on the second possition of PERL5LIB

/home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd/bin:/home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd/vmware-lib: .... and here the rest

try it, if the issue persists then send us logs

Note a short problem description in the text field of the upload form.

cd /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd # or where is your STOR2RRD working dir
tar cvhf logs.tar logs tmp/*txt etc/lpar2rrd.cfg
gzip -9 logs.tar

Send us logs.tar.gz via https://upload.stor2rrd.com

Pavel

opss, wrong logs, this one we need:

cd /home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd  # or where is your LPAR2RRD working dir
tar cvhf logs.tar logs tmp/*txt tmp/*json etc/lpar2rrd.cfg
gzip -9 logs.tar

Send us logs.tar.gz via https://upload.lpar2rrd.com

noobuser

this trick did the work, it started to display vmware stuff. thanks

/home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd/vmware-lib

the addition of the above removed the RHEL vm with the agent install I had before is now disappeared.

Pavel

yes, it is correct, you can see agent data under VMware --> ... cluster .. VM --> RHEL VM

noobuser

<span></span> thank you very very much for your help.
its time to get SAN working in stor2rrd.

cheers

thanks again.
