VMW ESX Server Disconnected Rule (4319223)

If VM’s are not getting a response back from the ESX server or if vCenter does not hear from the ESX server. Will the ESX Host Disconnected Rule  flag that?

WORKAROUND:

We should notify when vCenter knows that the ESX server is down.

We should also notify, if the ESX is down & VM's are running.

This is the condition:

if((#connectionState# != "connected")&&(#virtualMachinesPoweredOnCount# > 0))
 return true;
return false;

If no VMs where running in the ESX, this rule should not trigger.

If ESX is not connected and there is at least one VM powered on, this should trigger.
