• Warning—Provides important information about a system component that may require
taking action. These types of events are visible in both the Alarms window (for all management
groups) and the Events window (for the management group where the alarm occurred).
• Critical—Provides vital information about a system component that requires user action.
These types of events are considered to be alarms and are visible in both the Alarms window
(for all management groups) and the Events window (for the management group where the
alarm occurred).
IMPORTANT: If a firewall is configured and blocks network ports that communicate alarms and
events to the CMC, notification of those alarms and events will be blocked. See a list of ports used
in HP StoreVirtual Storage in “LeftHand OS TCP and UDP port usage” (page 263).
NOTE: Be sure to set up notification of events for each management group. See “Configuring
email notification” (page 91).
For more information about working with alarms and events, see “Working with alarms” (page 87)
and “Configuring events” (page 88).
