Configure Actions for Alarm Actions

ACE.

In VMware vSphere, an Alarm Action is a mechanism to automate the response to certain conditions or events that occur in a virtualized environment. When an alarm is triggered, an action is executed automatically.

There are several configure actions that can be set as Alarm Actions in vSphere 6.x, and the three available options from the provided list are:

A. Run a command: This action allows the administrator to run a custom command or script when the alarm is triggered. For example, a command can be executed to initiate a backup process or start a service.

B. Shutdown Guest: This action initiates a graceful shutdown of the guest operating system running in the virtual machine. This can be useful when there are certain conditions or events that require the virtual machine to be powered off.

C. Send a notification email: This action sends an email notification to a specified recipient or group of recipients when the alarm is triggered. This can be useful for alerting the IT staff to potential issues or events that require their attention.

The other two options from the list, Restart Guest and Migrate VM, are not among the configure actions available when creating an Alarm Action in vSphere 6.x.
