An administrator needs to modify a virtual machine alert to increase the threshold value of the trigger. Once connected to the vCenter Server, the administrator navigates to the virtual machine to make the change. However, the administrator is unable to edit the alarm.
What is the reason that this alarm cannot be edited?
A. The alarm was not defined on this inventory object.
B. The administrator is not the owner of this inventory object.
C. The alarm was not created by the administrator.
D. The alarm has not been acknowledged.
Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
A: You can create and modify alarm definitions in the vSphere Web Client. You can view alarm settings from any object, but you can modify settings only through the object on which the alarm is defined. This means that the administrator cannot edit the alarm unless it has been defined on that object.
Incorrect Answers:
B: Ownership of the inventory object is not the issue here, but rather the fact the alarms can only be edited if it has been defined.
C: Creating the alarm is not the problem why it cannot be edited, alarms can only be edited if it has been defined on that particular object.
D: Acknowledgement of an alarm is when the alarm gets triggered and not a reason that the alarm cannot be edited.
