Hi,
our hosts are running with two 10GBE uplinks, attached to a Cisco Necus 1000v dvSwitch.
Yesterday our network team had to disable one Switch-Port for one of our hosts because it was producing a lot errors. I expected, that a vCenter alarm would be raised when the link goes down, but nothing happened. All we got is the event "Physical NIC vmnic6 linkstate is down" on the host's Tasks & Events. These vCenter Alarms are configured:
Network connectivity lost - Default alarm to monitor network connectivity on a virtual switch
Network uplink redundancy degraded - Default alarm to monitor network uplink redundancy degradation on a virtual switch
Network uplink redundancy lost - Default alarm to monitor loss of network uplink redundancy on a virtual switch
Why was none of the last two alarms set off?
Any feedback apprectiated
Regards
