Example: Alarm reported in the vCenter Events screen.

Possible Cause

This condition typically occurs when VMware Tools are not installed on the guest virtual machine causing the runbook execution to fail.

Resolution

  1. Ensure VMware Tools are running on the Guest OS.

    • Windows VMs: Check VMware Tools from the Control Panel.

    • Linux VMs: Check the VMware Tools version using the command: vmware-toolbox-cmd -v

    • To install the VMware Tools on a Cent OS system, use the command sudo yum install open-vm-tools

If the runbook still fails to execute properly, review jss-task.log from the MSA to determine the cause.
