Each event that occurs is assigned a severity level that reflects the impact that the event
has on system operation. For each event, you can define the method used to direct event
notification. For example, you might choose a notification method for critical events that
alerts you immediately about the occurrence and a method for less-important events that
directs them to a log file for examination at your convenience.
The following table identifies the severity levels that you can define for events:
Severity Level Event Type
5 Critical
4 Serious
3 Major Warning
2 Minor Warning
1 Information

Monitors, see the Online Diagnostics Administrator’s and User’s Guide.

• Test a particular component and isolate any failures to the most obvious field
replaceable unit (FRU).
