Which default alarm definition will send a notification trap if the redundant storage path is lost?
A. Cannot connect to storage
B. Datastore removed from host
C. Host storage status
D. Hardware health changed
Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
A: vCenter Alarms are the notifications that can be activated in response to an event, a set of conditions or the state of an inventory object in the vCenter Server. By default, vCenter Server provides a set of predefined alarms that are specific to the different inventory objects in the vCenter Server. You can also create a new alarm definition as per your requirement. Alarm definition consists of the following elements: Name and description; Alarm type; Triggers; Tolerance thresholds; Actions and Severity levels.
Not being able to connect to a redundant storage path is a default alarm definition that will put a notification trap in action when connectivity issues prevent access to the storage.
Incorrect Answers:
B: It is stated that the redundant storage path is lost thus the event that occurred is not the datastore that is removed from the host.
C: A lost redundant storage path is not the same as the host storage status.
D: A redundant storage path was lost and it is not a case of hardware health that changed.
