Message:Virtual machine is powered ON from a suspended or a powered off state

Hello,

I have OME 1.1.1 installed and SNMP traps setup to receive alerts from two 5.1 ESXi Host machines. I also use Veeam to backup the the VMs on the host machines.

I continue to receive the following messages every night during backup:

Message:Virtual machine is powered ON from a suspended or a powered off state

Message:Virtual machine detects a loss in guest heartbeat

I have read that during the backup process Snapshots are used and perhaps is the reason why the disconnect?  Is there a way to increase the timeout on the heartbeat?

Hi Scott.

I'm not really sure about this one.  Of course, you can right-click on the alert to ignore, or create an ignore filter for the evening hours when these come in.  But probably the best route is to check on a VMware forum for a way to kick up the timeout as you suggest.  Not sure of how you do this on the VMware side.

Thanks,

Rob

Hi there,

Did this just start happening in OME?  Or is it a new OME install?

I can't recall for sure, but I thought I'd see someone ask about this before and it is a ESX generated heartbeat that can be turned off from ESX.

Did you try right-click ignore on the alert in the OME console?  Not sure if this meets your needs.

But again, I thought it is an ESX setting for send out heartbeat alerts on the VMs.
