Triggered Alarms

[RParker]

By Default Data Center (VC Managed) has alarms, one of them being CPU host memory, which I deleted. However it was a pre-existing condition. I removed the alarms from the ESX Data Center, but the ESX host still shows the alarm, how do I delete this alarm from the host?

It shows that warning triangle on the host, and it is mocking me! I just want to delete the triggered alarm, is there a way to clear this? (Obviously if I could reduce the host memory usage, this would be one way, but I can't)

I figured it out.

For future reference if anyone else has a similar issue, could you please post your resolution.

Thanks

You delete the trigger from the top level of your Datacenter. Then ALL triggers for subsequent hosts will no longer trigger.

An alternate solution (?)

I had a 'stuck' alarm on a VM. I went to where the alarm was defined (in my case Hosts & Clusters) and Edited it. I cleared the Enable Alarm check box and OK'ed it. This cleared my stuck alarm. I then went back in and re-enabled the alarm.

Thanks. This worked for me. An alarm triggered days ago, and the red triangle still showed up. I disabled the alarm then reenabled the alarm. Stuck alarm went away...
