VMware Cloud Management and Automation Fundamentals — Question 72

An alarm is triggered in vSphere Client due to a failure of a host in a cluster. The host has not returned to normal state, but the administrator wants to clear the alarm.
Which sequence of steps should the administrator take to accomplish this goal?

Answer options

• A. Host > Monitor > Skyline Health
• B. Host > Configure > Alarm Definitions > select an alarm > Delete alarm
• C. Host > Monitor > Issues and Alarms > Triggered Alarms > select alarm > select Acknowledge
• D. Host > Monitor > Issues and Alarms > Triggered Alarms > select alarm > select Reset to Green

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct choice is D because selecting 'Reset to Green' will clear the alarm by indicating that the issue is resolved, even if the host has not returned to normal. Option A is unrelated to alarm management, B involves deleting the alarm rather than clearing it, and C only acknowledges the alarm without resolving it.
