Hi All,
We are receiving the below alarm frequently on our ESX hosts. The alarm triggers and gets closed within19 or 20 seconds.
We don't see any issues during the alarm. We have checked hostd, vpxa log, no network drops seen from the performance chart for all the vmnics . But wondering, are these below alarms false or we are missing anything?
Our ESX build version is ESX 4.1.o build 800380
Vcenter server 4.1 build 345043
We have disabled and enabled the alarm, re-booted ESX host, nothing worked. These alarms are triggering frequently atleast once in a week for all hosts.
