vCenter alerts for vSphere host local SD disk access?

[romatlo32]

Hello folks,

I am trying to understand if it is possible for me to receive an email alert for this error?

I don't see a trigger for it or Alert for it.

This host server Cisco UCS Blade has lost its recognition of the local SD Card that has the vSphere OS installed.

We did not get an alert about this, I noticed it.

Anyone have a suggestion for how to alert for this?

Thanks

Create a new alarm definition and add the below VOB entries on the Triggers section -

esx.problem.storage.apd.start

esx.problem.storage.apd.timeout
