Network connectivity lost
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The 'Datastore usage on disk' predefined alarm in vCenter Server is specifically designed to monitor the space utilization of datastores. It triggers an alert when the datastore's usage reaches the defined threshold, helping administrators proactively address potential storage shortages in the environment.
- A. Correct.
This is the correct predefined alarm to monitor datastore space usage and get notified when the datastore is running low on available space.
- B. Incorrect.
This predefined alarm monitors the memory usage on a host, not the datastore space usage.
- C. Incorrect.
This predefined alarm monitors the CPU usage of virtual machines, which is unrelated to datastore space usage.
- D. Incorrect.
This predefined alarm monitors network connectivity issues, not datastore space usage.
