We have some snapshot size alarms setup in vCenter, I have a couple of VM's that have an alarm state becuase of the snapshot size, however when I look @ the manager it does not show any. I have also browsed the datastore and don't see an xxx000.vmdk files. Finally I ran the hassnapshot command from the CLI and it is returing a 0. Is there something else I could be doing to check for a snap? Has anyone else seen this before?
you may also want to use RVTools to search for any snapshots. Also, for the guests in question, maybe try creating a snapshot then deleting it to see if it clears the alarm.
Finally, it just may be a "stuck" alarm. Try to disable and then enable the alarm again to see what happens.

I agree with Troy, this could be a "stuck" alarm from e.g. a backup. Double check the alarm setting to make sure the thresholds are not set too low.

It was a stuck alarm thanks for the help
We started using ESX at 3.0 and there were stuck alarms back then.. Is this EVER going to be fixed?
