reset and clear alarms for vms

[tdubb123]

how can I ack and clear the alarm for vms that currently has an alarm on it

To acknowledge all alarms you can do

$alarmMgr = Get-View AlarmManager 
Get-VM | where {$_.ExtensionData.TriggeredAlarmState} | %{
    $vm = $_
    $vm.ExtensionData.TriggeredAlarmState | %{
        $alarmMgr.AcknowledgeAlarm($_.Alarm,$vm.ExtensionData.MoRef)
    }
}

The "Reset to green" option doesn't exist for all alarms, only for event-based alarms.

And the SetAlarmStatus method, that is behind this Reset to green option, is not a public API I'm afraid.
