Hi @J-Philippe 

Please ignore my previous comment if you saw it. I was refencing the incorrect alarm type :)

Datastore access impaired is basically an alert to say that access to a datastore has been lost by an OVC.

This can be expected if you reboot and OVC or reboot a host etc.

If you see this issue more regularly, it can be a sign of an underlying network issue, or other potentially bigger issues, and a support case should be raised to review your environment.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Thanks Declan,

strange because for me this behavior match with the VM daa access not optimized. I mean when VM A running on Node 1 but data location is on node 2 and 4 for example.

Does it mean the datastore impaired warning is the same kind of alarm ?
