<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Oh, btw. No progress on getting the machines that won’t answer up the bb-ESX.pl script. So I’m guessing that the it’s the SDK on the host that failed.

<p class="MsoNormal">I got this ext script working. There were 2 secrets. Maybe 3.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">First I modified it to be xymon-ESXi.pl. Changing BB to XYMON and BBHOME to XYMONHOME. Etc.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Second, I found that it was looking for a file .esxpass in $XYMONHOME. This is the password to get into the ESXi host. The bb-ESX.pl had it hard coded.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Lastly, my root password for the servers has bad characters in it. I have to think up a new root password now.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Actually. I’d rather add a user ‘xymon’ to the ESXi host. But I haven’t been able to get that to work at all. Does anybody know how to get that to work?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m also backfilling the bb-ESX.pl script to use the .esxpass file.
