Re: ESX4 + Nehalem Host + vMMU = Broken TPS !

Alright --

It's the next morning. All of my VMs are still reading low memory utilization as is "normal", however I've still got memory alarms that wont clear themselves.

I've attempted to restart the VC services, and went as far as to reboot the entire VirtualCenter server - but the alarms still wont go away. There's even one alarm on a host left over from last night citing "Battery on Controller 0 -- Charging". This happens every time I reboot the host, however normally goes away after a few minutes. I've updated the hardware, the actual battery has no alarm on it anymore - but there's still that yellow alert next to the host.

Any ideas on how to clear all of these old alerts?

I have also the problem with old alarms pending. I go to the Top-Level in Vcenter, klick "Alarms" and than "Definitions". Edit one of the definitions (don't change anything) and then save it. After this the old alarms was gone in my environment. Try it - Good Luck, Paul

Thank you, Paul1!

All alarms cleared themselves after I edited the alarm. This is now the first time I've seen my VM environment completely free of errors. It's great! How exciting....

@ Paul1 thanks for posting this sollution. I installed the patch from KB 1012514 and "changed" the VM Memory alarm setting. Now everything seems to be normal again. :-)
