Thanks, your information is helpful, and your reason for excluding it from SANM notifications is something we're trying to deal with.
I somewhat confused though. Our VNM is running on a standalone server, and communicating to vCenter. We've got over 1000 VMs, but we only get this alarm on a few at a time. Yesterday, 4/10/16, we didn't get any, and today, we got 17. I've excluded the alarm from some SANM filters, but not all. If we were having a communication issue between vCenter and the VNM that is running the VC AIM, I should expect to get this alarm for a lot more devices shouldn't I?
Again, thanks for your information, it is helpful.
