VMware vSphere 8.x Professional — Question 37

A group of new virtual machines have been deployed using thin-provisioned disks due to the limited storage space available in an environment. The storage team has expressed concern about extensive use of this type of provisioning.
An administrator is tasked with creating a custom alarm to notify the storage team when thin provisioning reaches a certain capacity threshold.
Where must the administrator define this alarm?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Datastore, because alarms related to thin provisioning are managed at the datastore level where the storage metrics are tracked. Options B (Data center) and C (Datastore cluster) do not directly monitor individual datastore capacity, while D (Virtual machine) pertains to VM-specific metrics rather than storage provisioning status.
