network uplink redundancy lost alert

[xbradshr]

Vcenter has a network uplink redundancy lost alert, which is around 5 days old. The alert cannot be acknowledged or set to green, as the option is greyed out. Vcenter client does not show any NICs down. A couple of questions

-how can the alert be cleared?

-Where should I look for the issue? I checked the NICs in host configuration in vcenter client. Where would ESXI log alerts for this issue?

can you edit settings of the alarm in question, then uncheck the "Enable this alarm" then "OK".  then Edit Settings of the alarm and put the check mark back.

thanks, the alert cleared okay.

Where are alerts like this normally logged on ESXI?

[Troy_Clavell]

it's  vCenter thing.  Alarms are sometimes "buggy"

If you are interested in reviewing the ESXi logs related to this event you can ssh to the host in question and perform:

cat /var/log/messages | grep -i link

To view linkstate issues in real-time (i.e. when performing network maintenance, etc.) you can perform:

tail -fv /var/log/messages | grep -i link
