Figure 3-2. PRO Tip Window
Implementation of Recovery Actions
The PRO Tip window provides an option to either implement or dismiss the
recommended action. If you select the Implement option, SCVMM
implements one of the recovery tasks described below, based on the nature of
the alert.
Placing the host in Restrict mode
Placing a host in Restrict mode prevents future assignment of workload to the
host until the problem is resolved.
When a host is placed in the Restrict mode, it still receives alerts in the
Operations Manager and associated PRO Tips in SCVMM.
The system health conditions that can trigger the maintenance mode tasks
are non-critical hardware alerts on the virtualization host such as, ambient
chassis temperature warning alert on a Dell™ PowerEdge™ virtualization host
system.
Migration of virtual machines
The PRO Tip management pack uses SCVMM algorithms to move virtual
machines from the affected system to a healthy one. The two SCVMM
algorithms are Load Balance and Resource Maximization.
