Filtering records in Alarms History table
There are two levels of filters that are used to filter records in the Alarms History table. The first level
of filtering is based on components selected in the component selection tree under Alarms. The second
level of filters are based on the Alarm History filters. The first level of filter results in specific set of
records corresponding to the component selected in the component selection tree. The second set of
filters further refines the search and provides records specific to the value selected in the Alarm History
filter.
Filtering based on components
Select the component for an XP or a P9000 disk array in the component selection tree, for which you
want to view the corresponding set of records in the Alarms table. The records (if available) are
accordingly filtered and displayed per the component level at which you executed your search. In
this context, component level can refer to an XP or a P9000 disk array, component types, or individual
components in that XP or P9000 disk array.
NOTE:
• When you select a component in the component selection tree for an XP or a P9000 disk array,
the corresponding set of records are displayed both in the Alarms table and the Alarms History
table. If you selected an XP or a P9000 disk array, the alarms configured on all the components
in that disk array are displayed.
• You can also select multiple component types or components in different XP and P9000 disk arrays,
or custom groups. Use the Shift or the Ctrl key for selecting multiple components. You can also
search for a particular component in the component selection tree. For more information, see
“Searching for components” on page 157.
• It is not mandatory to use the first level of Alarm History filters. The first level of filters are only
used to filter the existing set of Alarm History records for specific components, so you can further
search a minimum set of records.
The records in the Alarms History table are automatically filtered to display the set of records
corresponding to the component that you select under Alarms in the left pane. The following are a
few examples for a P9000 disk array:
• If you select MP Blades > (Individual MP blade) > Processors (4), only the records for the four
processors are displayed in the Alarms History table
• If you select MP Blades > (Individual MP blade), only the records for the selected MP blade are
displayed in the Alarms History table
