VMWare ESX3i Monitoring Server Health Status

6 02 2008

ESX 3i host server has sensors builtin that allows you to monitor the health of the following host components:

CPU processors
Memory
Fans
Temperature
Voltage

On systems without IPMI, only CPU sensors are available. Storage sensors are available only on systems with an LSI MegaRAID controller installed. If a particular component cannot be monitored on a given host, that component does not appear.
