<main> <article class="userContent"> <p><strong>Question: </strong>Why are VMware tests not discovered for an ESXi host running vSphere 6.7?</p> <p><strong>Answer: </strong>By default - the Traverse VMware monitor (revision 9.5 and earlier) use TLS 1.0 to access the VMware API, while vSphere 6.7 by default only accepts requests utilizing TLS 1.2.</p> <p>Now, to allow the Traverse VMware monitor to use TLS 1.0, 1.1 or 1.2, on the appropriate DGE or DGE extension, simply modify the following parameter in '<em>TRAVERSE_HOME\bin\monitor.lax</em>' at the end of the line beginning with '<em>lax.nl.java.option.additional=</em>' to include the additional TLS versions:</p> <pre class="code codeBlock" spellcheck="false" tabindex="0">-Dhttps.protocols=TLSv1,TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2</pre> <p>Then restart the 'Data Gathering Engine' component.</p> <p><strong>Applies to: </strong>Traverse 9.5 and lower.</p> <p><strong>Reference: </strong><a href="/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&target=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.vmware.com%2Fen%2FVMware-vSphere%2F6.7%2Frn%2Fvsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-67-release-notes.html" rel="noopener nofollow">https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.7/rn/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-67-release-notes.html</a></p> </article> </main>
