Description
IT Assistant lists the ESXi
under 'Unknown' category in
the Devices hierarchy.
IT Assistant lists the ESXi
under 'Servers' category in the
Devices hierarchy and not
under "VMware ESX Server".
SNMP traps from IT Assistant
are not categories and are listed
as "Unknown".
IT Assistant does not
enumerate all the hardware
information under "Device
details". It does not perform an
inventory of ESXi.

Resolution
This occurs when the
DRAC/BMC is not discovered
and inventoried by IT Assistant.
Make sure that the
DRAC/BMC interface is
appropriately configured and
the IP address is added to the
range that IT Assistant queries
for IPMI based discovery.
This is a known issue for this
release. VMware ESXi does not
have all the MIBs implemented.
This issue is seen in IT
Assistant version 8.1. Update to
IT Assistant version 8.2 or later.
Hardware inventory of ESXi is
not supported. On a typical
server hardware configuration,
inventory is made available by
OpenManage agents running
on the PE server. OpenManage
Server Administrator agents are
not supported in ESXi and
hence hardware inventory using
IT Assistant is not supported.
