Figure 9 Propagation of Subcomponent State Problems
Suppressing Alarms, Attributes, and Problem IRs
Another feature in OSM is the ability to suppress alarms, attributes, and problem IRs. You can
acknowledge a known problem and keep it from propagating problem conditions all the way up
to the system icon (as Figure 10 illustrates).
In this example, you might want to suppress the problem attribute on the tape drive because it is
a known problem and you do not want to miss other problems that arise on the system. After you
suppress the problem attribute (see Figure 5-11), that resource’s icon changes to show a yellow
check mark. No container objects, up to and including the system icon, now show degraded
conditions.
