Good morning,
I am currently running ESX 3.0.2. We are also running VCB. I have noticed that the vmtools status for some virtual machines in Virtual Center shows that the tools aren't running. It also shows that the VM doesn't have an ipaddress assigned to it when it actually does. When this happens, our VCB backup fails because it can't poll Virtual Center for an IP Address. When I check the VM to see if the tools are actually installed, it shows that they are.
Question
Is there a way to set up an alarm within virtual center that will alert me when the tools status shows not running in Virtual Center?
