False SNMP traps from ESXi hosts "Severity:Critical, Message:Disk Drive Bay x Cable SAS x: Config Error - Assert, Severity: Fatal"

Hi,

We are starting a integration of ESXi hosts with DELL OME. I am receiving false SNMP traps from few of the hosts, the fatal errors are even not visible in DELL OMSA hardware/alert logs

Below example of three hosts [email notifications which we have set], please suggest what corrective action should be done.

Hi,

This alert vmwESXEnvHardwareAlert is defined in VMware MIB and hence OMSA might not be listing this. If you look at the details - the enterprise OID will be .1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.4.1 and specific Id will be 302.

You can create a "New Alert Ignore Action" task on this alert source - vmwESXEnvHardwareAlert if you are not interested in monitoring this alert. Refer "Alert Ignore action" section in "Configuring Alert Actions in OpenManage Essentials" whitepaper for more details.

Thanks, Vijay.
