the Alarms Status list. The set of RAID group records are further filtered to display only RAID group,
1–3 for the RAID Group Total IO – Frontend metric and Passive alarm status.
Click Clear Filter any time while selecting values from the filter options. It removes the current selection
and displays all the records in the Alarms table. Also, the current selection on the XP or P9000 disk
array or component in the component selection tree is removed.
Setting threshold level
Threshold level is a value that you set and further used by P9000 Performance Advisor to compare
the current performance value of a selected component with the set threshold value. P9000 Performance
Advisor triggers an alarm and sends appropriate notifications to the recipients when the current
performance value of a component goes beyond the threshold level that you configured.
NOTE:
You can also use the Ctrl + c and Ctrl + v combination to copy and paste the threshold level from one
record to another record. Ensure that the records are selected, so that the latest changes are updated.
To set the threshold level:
1. Click PA and DB Settings > Configure Alarms in the left pane.
2. In the Alarms table, select the component records for which you want to specify the threshold
level.
You can also filter component records in the Alarms table.
3. Enter the threshold level under the Threshold column for each component record. By default,
999999 is set as the threshold level for new component records.
The threshold level that you provide for each record is automatically stored in the list under the
Threshold column. The next time you want to edit a threshold level, you can provide a new value
or choose an existing value from the list.
NOTE:
The threshold values are grouped based on the same type of Metric Category.
Alternatively, copy the threshold from an existing record and apply it across multiple other records.
For more information, see “
Applying a template ” on page 147.
P9000 Performance Advisor does the following:
1. Generates an alarm when the current performance value of a component crosses the configured
threshold value.
2. Dispatches a notification to the intended recipient as per the notification settings configured for
the alarm. For more information on configuring alarm notifications, see “
Configuring alarm noti-
fications ” on page 143.
