Alert Severities
Commands The CLI provides special commands that enable you to set alert severities, and to send
out a test alert to the Windows Event Log and all configured syslog receivers. The
alert severities apply to all of the storage arrays in the entire storage system. The
commands are SMcli commands that run only from a command line.
Setting Alert Severities
SMcli -alertSeverities ( severity |

[ severity1 , ... severityN ])
You can set the following alert severities:
 critical
– Alerts will be sent
 warning
– Alerts will be sent
 informational
– Alerts will not be sent
 debug
– Alerts will be sent
NOTE
The debug value is for Technical Support only. Do not attempt to use this value.
You can set one or more alert severities values. If you set more than one alert
severities value, enclose all of the values in square brackets ([ ])and separate the
values by a comma.
