cocksy Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 You can import the virual box images in vmware workstation and then move it to vsphere.Or look at turnkey linux observium, another nms. They offer an ova to import into vsphereThanks for the info - can you import / export in the free version of VMware workstation, or does it need the pro version?Will take a look at observuim too.

mattb75 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 No need to use Workstation - It's been a while since I installed LibreNMS now, but believe I downloaded the 4.0GB VMDK disk image, then configured a Linux VM using the VMDK as an existing disk rather than creating a new disk. I've skipped backwards and forwards between Cacti, Observium, PRTG and LibreNMS over the years - LibreNMS has an iOS app to connect into the platform, from Rich's post it looks like Observium have got better now at native mobile browser viewing - LibreNMS still isn't great but I found it better at identifying the more consumer devices. (There's a lot of negativity ref the Observium guy and his abuse of consumers using the community version of his product and expecting support of the cheaper end of the network device products - particularly wifi!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richu75 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I believe is in the free version: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1012258 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattb75 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Quick heads-up to help with the installation. Upload the VDMK file to a datastore. Create a new VM - note you'll need to change the default VM version settings to an older version On the settings config page add an existing hard drive and navigate to the uploaded VMDK file location Remove the other hard drive the create wizard adds Adjust your memory / cpu to suit (i use 1 vCPU and 2GB) Power up and you're good to go!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know which version of VM it needs to b changed to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattb75 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I put it on the screen grab - set to 4.x which is the lowest 6.7 will allow you to go to.It may work on a higher one (perhaps to 5 - I’ve never tried) but it definitely doesn’t work on 6.7 as the disk image doesn’t recognise the new versions of ESXi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
