Veeam VMware: Thin-provisioned volume capacity exceeded Alarm

Veeam.Virt.Extensions.VMware.VC5Alarm.DATASTORE.ThinLUNCapacityExceeded (UnitMonitor)

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

This monitor tracks the vCenter alarm that triggers when the thin provisioning threshold on the storage array is exceeded for volume(s) backing the datastore.

Causes

This alarm will fire in vCenter, using triggers defined via the vSphere Client.

By default, this alarm is triggered by the following events:

vCenter Event	Description
com.vmware.vc.sms.ThinProvisionedLunThresholdInitEvent	Storage provider thin provisioning default capacity event.
com.vmware.vc.sms.ThinProvisionedLunThresholdClearedEvent	Storage provider thin provisioning capacity threshold reached.
com.vmware.vc.sms.ThinProvisionedLunThresholdCrossedEvent	Storage provider thin provisioning capacity threshold crossed.

Resolutions

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