Hi
ESXI 5.5.0 2068190 on IBM x3650 M3, 48GB RAM, Dual x5650 - Only Three VMs: 2012R2, Zabbix Appliance, Centos
This is just a query as the system is working fine (for now).
I have recently started using VEEAM ONE (Free) to monitor this ESXI Server and am getting an alarm alert for Host Hardware Status : Sensor "Memory" equal Alert.
This seems to correspond to the following VMware (so I dont think its a VEEAM ONE issue) MOB: content -> rootFolder -> childEntity -> hostFolder -> childEntity -> host -> runtime -> healthSystemRuntime -> hardwareStatusInfo -> memoryStatusInfo
This is showing: Key = "Red", label = "Red", summary = "The physical element is failing"
My question is what does this mean? What checks is it making for this value?
I have shut the machine down and ran extensive hardware tests using the built in IBM System Diagnostics and it found nothing (that it reported). I ran its dedicated memory check and that was good. The light path is not showing any error codes.
The VMs are working, and I cannot see this error in the VSphere Client - I may not be looking in the right place, the "Health Status" screen shows all Green Ticks and Normal status. I really only became aware of the issue due to VEEAM ONE.
I did try to search the documentation but this page: https://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-55/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.wssdk.apiref.doc%2Fvim.host.HardwareStatusInfo.html was the best I could find and it just says "Status of the physical memory" which I don't understand.
I have another IBM machine (M2) which VEEAM is connected to and MOB is green for this one.
Thanks is advance for any help or pointers
Pete
