Alert Definition Symptoms Recommendations
Host in a non-DRS cluster has CPU
contention caused by less than half of
the virtual machines.
Symptoms include all of the
following:
n
Host inside a cluster
n
[ ! DRS Enabled OR ! DRS fully
automated ]
n
Host CPU contention is at
warning/immediate/critical level
n
> 0 child virtual machines have
[ Virtual machine CPU demand
at warning /immediate/critical
level ]
n
<= 50% of child virtual machines
have [Virtual machine CPU
demand at
warning /immediate/critical
level ]
Use vSphere vMotion to migrate some
virtual machines with high CPU
workload to other hosts that have
available CPU capacity.
Host in a non-DRS cluster has CPU
contention caused by more than half of
the virtual machines.
Symptoms include all of the
following:
n
Host inside a cluster
n
[ ! DRS Enabled OR ! DRS fully
automated ]
n
Host CPU contention at
warning/immediate/critical level
n
Host CPU demand at
warning/immediate/critical level
n
> 50% of child virtual machines
have [ Virtual machine CPU
demand at
warning /immediate/critical
level ]
1 Use vSphere vMotion to migrate
some virtual machines with high
CPU workload to other hosts that
have available CPU capacity.
2 Upgrade the host or use a host that
has larger CPU capacity.
Host in a non-DRS cluster has CPU
contention due to overpopulation of
virtual machines.
Symptoms include all of the
following:
n
Host inside a cluster
n
[ ! DRS Enabled OR ! DRS fully
automated ]
n
Host CPU contention at
warning/immediate/critical level
n
Host CPU demand at
warning/immediate/critical level
n
Zero child virtual machines have
[ Virtual machine CPU demand
at warning /immediate/critical
level
1 Use vSphere vMotion to migrate
some virtual machines with high
CPU workload to other hosts that
have available CPU capacity.
2 Upgrade the host or use a host that
has larger CPU capacity.
Host has memory contention caused
by less than half of the virtual
machines.
Symptoms include all of the
following:
n
! Host inside a cluster
n
Host memory contention at
warning/immediate/critical level
n
> 0 child virtual machines have
[ Virtual machine memory
workload at
warning /immediate/critical
level ]
n
<= 50% of child virtual machines
have [Virtual machine memory
workload at
warning /immediate/critical
level ]
Use vSphere vMotion to migrate some
virtual machines with high memory
workload to other hosts that have
available memory capacity.
