What type of hardware?

Example. Saw similar messages in vsphere over HPE equipment. Searching at HPE yielded

https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-a00053955en_us

Essentially: update iLO 5 firmware and related ESXi components.

I'm experiencing the exact same issue with Dell PowerEdge blades after upgrading to vSphere 6.7U3, every single host spits out about 30 of these alerts across multiple components but in VCSA all sensors report no issues, I've also got Dell OME and no servers are reporting any issues to it as well.

iDRAC firmware is the latest available 2.63.60.62

Also seeing this error on Dell vxRail cluster with ESXi 6.7 U3. This article seems relevant: VMware Knowledge Base

I did not disable the WBEM on my hosts, but I did follow the steps to modify the alarm definition for "Host Sensor State", but it did not prevent the alarms from reappearing in vRealize Operations Manager, unfortunately.

I did the same, followed the KB to stop the events in vCentre, didn't turn off WBEM and also still seeing the alerts in vRealize Operations Manager. Got VMware Support on the case and the guy has tried disabling the alert in vROM 3 times but still getting these alerts! Just updated the ticket, hopefully tech support can resolve this eventually.
