If you ever need to restore the default alarm settings, you can do so with the Reset Default Alarm button. This button is a
convenience to restore the default alarm configuration without uninstalling and reinstalling the product. If any Dell alarm
configurations have been changed since install, those changes are reverted using this button.
NOTE: The OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter pre-selects the virtualization-related events that are the
essential to hosts successfully running virtual machines. Dell host alarms are disabled by default. If Dell alarms
are enabled, the clusters should use the VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler to make sure that the virtual
machines that send critical events are automatically migrated.
Understanding Events And Alarms for Chassis
Events and alarms corresponding to a chassis are shown only at the vCenter level. Events and alarms settings that are
done for hosts at every vCenter is also applicable at chassis level.. You can edit events and alarms settings from the
OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter within Manage → Settings tab. From here you can select the Event
Posting Level, enable Alarms for Dell Hosts and Chassis, or Restore Default Alarms. You can configure events and
alarms for each vCenter or all at once for all registered vCenters.
NOTE: To receive Dell events, you must enable both alarms and events.
