Thank you so much for all this. really great info.
I have just installed a new solarwinds SAM server and starting from scratch. so it has given me an opportunity to somewhat test some questions that i have since the new install are
1. If you have a VM, what options do you then have? Hardware health is obviously not an option for a VM. Is that where vCenter and ESXi host monitoring comes in?
2. If SAM for a reason cant read the hardware health due to compatability issues. what options do you have here?
3. For a virtual machine, if the disk that Windows see have issues or disappear, how can admins be alerted?
Thank you again
