Storage health status unavailable on vsphere 6.5 hosts #102

Closed 4b42 closed 8 years ago

i updated 3 of my vsphere hosts from 6.0 to 6.5 and now i got the following message:

Warning: The session being saved to '/tmp/vsphere_session' is expired or not authenticated. UNKNOWN: Storage health status unavailable

i tried with admin permissions, but nothing changed.

So I need a little bit more about your configuration.

Which version of the SDK?
Where have you configured the path /tmp/vsphere_session ?

The last is interesting because I never save a session in a file named vsphere_session.

Oh no :( Sorry, my mistake, i used SDK-6.0.0-2503617.x86_64, after upgrade to SDK-6.5.0-4566394.x86_64 the WARNING message was gone and Icinga can get the storage health. The vsohere was the hostname (/tmp/session)._

Thank you:)

If you look at some closed (and open) issues you will see some problems with SDK 6.x. Because currently nothing of 6.x is used SDK 5.x is sufficient. SDK 6.x has several drwabacks. So it is nearly not possible to install it on RedHat/ CentOS 6.x using the needed Perl modules as packages. And there are other problems too. Martin
