Veeam VMware: vSphere Host Hardware Warning

Veeam.Virt.Extensions.VMware.GroupEvents.Host.Hardware.Warning (Rule)

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

vCenter has logged a hardware warning event for this vSphere host. Additional Knowledge Base data is available using the links below. Click the relevant link for the [EventID] as seen in the alert description to search the Veeam MP Online Help Center for further troubleshooting assistance.

Additional events can be added to this rule using overrides; if the EventID is not in the list below, use the Help Center Search Page to locate the article for the event.

Configuration

The rule is enabled by default. You can override the following parameters:

Name

Default Value

Description

Include Events

Dummy.Event.Id.1

Allows you to include one or several vCenter Server events for monitoring, in addition to events monitored by this rule. For the list of vCenter Server events, see Veeam MP Reference. To separate multiple event IDs, use pipes.

Exclude Events

Dummy.Event.Id.3

Allows you to exclude one or several vCenter Server events from monitoring. The list of events that can be excluded is provided in the 'Causes' section. To separate multiple event IDs, use pipes.

Exclude Text

DummyEventText1

Allows you to suppress alerts that this event rule can raise, based on a keyword or text string from the alert description. For example, when an alert is triggered, the name of the affected object is inserted into the alert description. If you specify the name of the object in the override for this rule, the rule will not raise alerts for this object.

Note: If you have configured several overrides of the same type, select the Enforced check box for an override that should have priority over all other overrides.

Causes

The event IDs and details are:

vCenter Event

Description

esx.problem.cpu.smp.ht.partner.missing

Disabling HyperThreading due to invalid configuration: HT partner is missing from PCPU.

esx.problem.hardware.acpi.interrupt.routing.device.invalid

Skipping interrupt routing entry with bad device number. This is a BIOS bug.

esx.problem.hardware.acpi.interrupt.routing.pin.invalid

Skipping interrupt routing entry with bad device pin. This is a BIOS bug.

esx.problem.hardware.ioapic.missing

IOAPIC Num is missing. Please check BIOS settings to enable this IOAPIC.

Resolutions

Resolution is dependent on the nature of the event. Use the EventID KB links above to search for more information.

Note that this rule will suppress multiple events, even those with different IDs, in order to prevent unnecessary multiple alerts. However all underlying events will be collected. Check the Repeat Count on this alert to understand if multiple events have been suppressed.

Use the Alerts View to see all current open issues for this object. Use the Events View to review any error and warning events for this object.
