Alarm priorities

Each active alarm has a priority level. The priority level of an alarm determines the severity of the alarm and the urgency with which you must correct the condition causing the alarm. The default alarm priorities include:

Major - Address these alarms immediately. If a major alarm is not addressed, the system fails either partially or completely.
Minor - Review these alarms and take action if necessary. Minor alarms often indicate problems that are self-correcting, or that do not have a significant impact on system performance.
Warning - Address these alarms in a timely manner. A Warning alarm indicates that the system is functioning, but likely not at an optimum level.
Information - These alarms provide important status information but do not require any action by the administrator.

To correct the condition causing an alarm, you perform the alarm corrective action and then acknowledge the alarm.
