Customizing a rule
I have an alarm that I want to silence that is tied to the "VMW Virtual Machine Logical Drive Estimated Fill Time" rule. We have a VDI environment that triggers this rule too often, and it does not apply. I found a previous thread at: http://communities.quest.com/thread/3796?tstart=150 that talks about excluding a range of VM's from a rule, but I am not getting the expected results. All of the VDI's have names that begin XD-, so I am trying to edit the Rule Scope to exclude those. The following is the Rule Scope as I have it now, if someone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.
VMWVirtualMachineLogicalDisk where (name ! like 'xd-%')
The Scoping Query Editor almost leads me to believe that the Toplogy that I need to use is the VM's GUID, but I find that hard to believe. I have to think that the solution is easier than that.
Thanks for any help

Hello Mike
The rulescope you are doing is looking at the actual logical disk name. It will filter out any logical disk with name xd-*
What you want to do instead is to scope on VirtualMachine name.
VMWVirtualMachineLogicalDisk where virtualMachine.name ! like "xd-%"
Let me know how it works for you.

That was it. I had tried "where virtualMachine name ! like "xd-%"" without the dot before "name". So close, yet so far. Thanks a million.
