HP VMware ESXi management environment integration note

The Event
s tab shows all management actions performed on the ESXi host. To view these events, the
vSphere Client must be connected to the vCenter Server.
The Alarms tab shows all the alerts that have been triggered for a host, as well as all the Alert
definitions that pertain to that host. These alerts may be defined for the particular host, or may be
defined at a higher level in the inventory and inherited by the host. vCenter Server can set alerts
based on hardware health such as fan or power supply state. Table A-1 in Appendix A lists the
hardware information that vCenter Server can monitor and provide alarms for. Figure 22 shows an
example of an alert that has been triggered on an ESXi host in vCenter Server and in HP SIM.
