Hi Tifoso,
The script relies on VMware vSphere API to collect system configurations. Based on the error message, the script is unable to retrieve the data via VMomi from your ESXi 4.0 servers. I believe it's due to either Vmoni is not supported in ESXi 4.0 or not compatible with the latest version.
Sorry,
Heejeong
Hi Heejeong,
that could be the reason.
Anybody other idea to check the compatibilty easy to migrate from 4.0 to 5.5?
BR Tifoso
Sorry, I don't think it's easy to find an automated tool that validates hardware compatibility for ESXi 4.0 as the version is no longer supported.
ESXi 5.5 compatible hardware can be found:
https://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php
You may need to check the list manually.
Heejeong.
Dear Shaveen,
The script can generate a report for all data centers of a vCenter server, but there are no options to specify a specific datacenter.
Thanks,

Dear Shin,
this is really a great tools and I use it a lot since months!
Just on point: now that many customers must abandon 6.0 and they need to upgrade to 6.5/6.7, it would be very useful to have also indications about FIRMWARE compatibility.
Is there any chance to have also this feature in your tool? Are you maybe working on it?
Anyway, thank you so much for your fantastic work so far!!

Dear Daniele,
Thanks for the comment. I have tried to check the firmware, but I wasn't able to find a generic way to get the firmware data from a host, especially storage adapters. Sorry, I am not working on this currently but I will note this and try again later.

Hello, thanks for this script.
I would like to know if it's possible to modify the html, for example translations
Thanks
Hi, RaphaelVx
The HTML report is generated by the python script. (tools\hostmanager.py)
You can modify the script to change HTML format .
Could you please provide more information of your requirement?
Thanks,
