Cause

Orion and VMAN gets the DataStore values from the vCenter through API. The API attribute that holds this value is the datastore.freespace and the unit of this attribute is bytes, not gigabytes.

Resolution

On the Web Console, go to Alerts > Manage Alerts.
Select the alert and click Edit Alert.
In the Trigger Condition tab, set the Virtual Datastore Free Space is less than value in bytes. For example, 200GB is 214748364800 bytes (1 Gigabyte = 1,073,741,824 bytes).
