Configuring alarm reporting

XIV® events are relayed to the vCenter Operations Manager via the IBM® Storage adapter.

About this task

By default, the IBM Storage adapter reports only immediate and critical XIV events to the vCenter Operations Manager. You can select a lowest severity level, instructing the IBM Storage adapter to deliver events that are equal or above the specified value. In addition, you can disable event reporting altogether.

In the vcops_config.ini file, set the event_level parameter to one of the following values:
  • none – no events are reported
  • info – all events are reported
  • warning – warning, immediate and critical events are reported
  • immediate – immediate and critical events are reported
  • critical – only critical events are reported
