This issue requires immedite ttention. A Virtul SAN storge device tht cks up the dtstores might fil.this occurs due to fulty device firmwre, physicl medi, or storge controller or when certin storge devices re not redle or writele. Typiclly, such filures re irreversile. In some instnces, permnent dt loss might lso occur, especilly when dt is not replicted on other nodes efore filure. Virtul SAN utomticlly recovers dt when new devices re dded to the storge cluster, unless dt lost is permnent. The purpose of this lert is to notify when n NFS connectivity issue ws detected. This mens n NFS dtstore is or ws unville. Do to this issue, one or more VMs my e unville. The purpose of this lert is to notify when n NFS lock file issue hs een detected. Stle NFS lock files cn prevent VMs from powering on. The purpose of this lert is to notify when SCSI pth hs ecome unville. Assuming multiple pths re in use nd the other pths re online this mens reduced redundncy nd performnce. If ll pths to storge device ecome unville then VMs running on the storge device will ecome unville. The purpose of this lert is to notify when snpshot consolidtion is required.
