I've been trying to configure my ESXi server to take advantage of hardware monitoring via iLO drivers. However, no matter what I do to try and start the sfcbd service, I get a list of menu options.

I'm running /etc/init.d/sfcbd-watchdog start and this returns a list of command-line switches to add to the command (none of which work).

It makes me think something is corrupted within sfcbd. My end goal is to simply have hardware monitoring through ESXi. Please note that I have already installed the HP ESXi AMS Offline bundle and restarted the server.

Is there something that I am missing?

I don't understand what the sfcbd-watchdog service has to do with any of this.

If you wish to monitor a Gen8 ProLiant server through the ILO-only, you only need the HP AMS Offline bundle to be installed on the host.

Edit - You're using a G7 ProLiant. Agentless Management is only supported on ILO4 and Gen8 systems.

If you're interested in general HP and VMware monitoring, check the following:

There's something in the start function of the /etc/init.d/sfcbd-watchdog script that has a syntax problem, and that is what is giving you the "usage output" (list of command line switches).
