Cause

Site Status Events

Remote site down & Remote site up alarms are enabled in vCenter.

Resolution

Disable the alarms. This will stop vCenter from triggering emails about this event. 

Additional Information

RemoteSiteUpEvent is not only seen when recovering from a failure, but also periodically during normal operation.
How VMware Live Site Recovery Monitors Connections Between Sites
---
When VMware Live Site Recovery establishes the connection between two paired VMware Live Site Recovery Server instances, the VMware Live Site Recovery Server that initiated the connection sends a RemoteSiteUpEvent event. The RemoteSiteUpEvent is triggered every time the connection to the remote site is renewed. Typically this happens every 8 hours, which is the default SSO authentication token lifetime.
