Setting and monitoring alarms

With VASA Provider for clustered Data ONTAP, you can set alarms to monitor storage capacity. You can also use its automatic alarm features to monitor datastore compliance with assigned storage capability profiles and the condition of VVOL datastores

The threshold alarms for aggregates and volumes are the only alarms that you can set. You specify the alarm settings in the Settings page of the VASA Provider for clustered Data ONTAP section of the Virtual Storage Console for VMware vSphere GUI.

VASA Provider automatically checks to ensure that a datastore is still compliant with its storage capability profile.

VASA Provider also automatically checks VVOL datastores to ensure that they have sufficient space and that the components associated with each datastore are performing correctly. There are many conditions that can trigger an alarm for a VVOL datastore.
