descendant resource pool, and two descendant host systems.
c Click the host system named w2-vropsqe2-009.
The types and numbers of descendant objects for this host system appear in the list below. Use the
descendant object list identify all of the objects related objects to the host system that might be
experiencing problems.
What to do next
Take action in the user interface to resolve the problems. See “Fix the Problem,” on page 28.
Fix the Problem
You use the analysis and troubleshooting features of vRealize Operations Manager to examine problems
that put your objects in a critical state, and identify solutions. To resolve the problems, where actions exist
for the object type, you select an object and an available action that is specic to the object. Or, you can open
the object in the vSphere Web Client and modify the object seings to resolve the problem.
You have used the Analysis, Troubleshooting, Details, and Environment areas of the user interface to
examine the critical problems that occur on your objects. To resolve those problems, you can select actions
from the Actions menu, which appears in list and view menus, and various dashboard widgets.
The actions that you can select are specic to an object type, such as a virtual machine. Although you can
select an action when you have selected a host system that is experiencing critical problems related to
capacity and time, all but one of the actions that you can take apply to virtual machines. The action to delete
unused snapshots applies to datastores.
Prerequisites
Examine the environment relationships. See “Examine the Environment Relationships,” on page 26.
