0x8 say what?

You might have noticed the 0x8 flag above. What does it mean? KB875424 mention:

0x01 - use special poll interval SpecialInterval
0x02 - UseAsFallbackOnly
0x04 - send request as SymmetricActive mode
0x08 - send request as Client mode

piix4_smbus 0000:00:07.3: Host SMBus controller not enabled!

При переносе VM с  CentOS 6.3 с хоста ESXi 4.1 (Intel) на хост ESXi 5.1 (AMD) при загрузке выскакивает ошибка:

kernel: piix4_smbus 0000:00:07.3: Host SMBus controller not enabled!

Аналогично появилось сообщение в CentOS 6.x при upgrad с ESX4.0 на ESXi5.1 на серверах с процессором Intel

как вариант: 
i'm using virtualbox and not vmware, but i think this doesn't matter at all.
since the vm has no smbus, but ubuntu seems to always load the smbus module at boot, the fix is straightforward:

Code:

lsmod | grep i2c_piix4

and if you see the module is loaded, just blacklist it in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, by adding:

Code:

blacklist i2c_piix4

at the end of the file (or anywhere). (eventually update your initramfs too: update-initramfs -u -k all)
that's all.

Zabbix_agent

Качаем агента с сайта zabbix
Создаем папку "C:\Program Files\Zabbix_agent"
Правим файл zabbix_agentd.win.conf
Параметры PerfCounter переносим в файл zabbix_agentd.userparams.conf

у кого руcская windows меняем имена текстовые на цифровое соответствие
смотри доки или пример
PerfCounter=Average disk read queue length,"\234(_Total)\1402",30

Установка и запуск агента, как службы, при загрузке windows :

"C:\Program Files\Zabbix_agent\zabbix_agentd.exe" --config "C:\Program Files\Zabbix_agent\zabbix_agentd.win.conf" --install 

Не забыть открыть дыру в Windows Firewall port 10050

В windows 2012 не работает через цифры
Еще вариант

 know it's an old thread. I'm writing this for those still struggling with this problem , .

I had the same problem as someone else editing the counter registry value. It did not let me do it.

Here's what I did to translate everything in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Perflib\00C to english.

Move the files (for backup) :
c:\windows\system32\perf*00C.dat to c:\windows\system32\perf*00C_bak.dat

Copy the files :
c:\windows\system32\perf*009.dat to c:\windows\system32\perf*00C.dat

Reboot not necessary

Using numbers to access the counters is not satisfactory because the numbers for each counters are not always the same from Windows to Windows. This fixed my problem.
