Managing hardware events

Hardware events and alarms are integrated into vCenter. Lenovo XClarity Integrator for VMware vCenter loads events from out-of-band (OOB) BMC nodes into the vCenter server, allowing administrators to view and manage them from vSphere Client. This provides administrators with a single, heterogeneous view of all host system events within the managed environment.

What to do next

Select the Events tab in vSphere Client to view Lenovo hardware events.
  • Alarms
    When a Lenovo event is delivered to VMware vCenter Server, the overall host status changes based on the corresponding event severity. An alarm is triggered when the changes to the host status meet the criteria assigned by the administrator.
