Hello all,
Currently we are running vROps version 6.3 and am trying to understand the Datastore alerts; in particular the "datastore has one or more hosts that have lost redundant paths to a storage device."
All of our hosts should have 4 total paths to each of our datastores and for the most part when we lose a path the 'out of the box' alerts in vCenter emails our team that we lost a storage path. The problem is that it doesn't clear that alarm when the path comes back up.
Now looking at vROps and see where I can create my own alert (or edit the default one) but trying to see if it's possible for us to edit/create an alert that emails us when the total paths is less than 4. Is this possible? I've played around a bit but am a little confused about some of the terminology.
I cloned the default alert and changed it around to have the following for the "symptom":
"Defined on: Descendant-Datastore
This symptom set is true when:
<= 3 count of descendant datastore objects exhibit Any of the following symptoms.
1. Host(s) lost redundance to storage device(s)."
Right now one of our ESXi hosts only has 3 paths to 5 datastores (all other hosts are fine and have 4 paths) and not seeing any alerts in vROps so I know I am not doing something correct.
Thoughts or suggestions are welcome!
