NOTE:
•
If you configure alarms at the host group level, and then edit a host in any port, the alarm
notification is sent only for the common host group that is configured. The notifications are
not sent for the edited host group. To receive notifications for the edited host group, re-configure
the alarms.
•
If you change the name of a host group that has alarms configured, delete and re-configure
all alarms for that host group.
