VMware vCenter Appliance Scanning

[tray]

I have a linux VM setup as a VMware vCenter Appliance that I would like to scan in as a Linux machine. Unfortunately, Lansweeper keeps trying to scan it in as a VMware server, because it is indeed the vCenter box, however I am monitoring my VM hosts in Lansweeper by scanning each host individually. How can I force Lansweeper to scan this device in as Linux and NOT a VMware server? When it tries to scan, I get the error below:

Errors found while scanning:

No Vmware credentials defined.

I have already tested using the devicetester tool and confirmed that entering the SSH credentials it is able to scan the device using those credentials.

Great to hear.

The new build (7.0.100.3) has fixed the vCenter / ESXi scanning issues!

Thanks! I can see you've already shared a lot of useful info, our technical support staff will review it and see what went wrong.

Awesome! I'm glad that following steps provided allowed the ESXi asset to show the correct information, so now it's just getting the VCenter server asset to do the same! 🙂

I see, I assumed you were using the beta since you specifically mentioned vCenter scanning . We've had a few reports of vCenter scanning issues and our development team is hard at work trying to iron them out. The more information we can gather the better.

I have submitted a case (696013) for assistance with my VCenter/ESXi scanning issues in v7.

Best thing to do when you have questions or comments regarding unreleased Lansweeper versions is either send something to support@lansweeper.com or beta@lansweeper.com
