When a device fails or the system does not function somehow, the system generates an alarm based on the fault type and the faulty module, and saves the alarm in the alarm buffer of the device. At the same time, the system generates a log. You can determine the size of the alarm buffer as actually needed. If the Network Management System (NMS) is present, the alarm is sent to the NMS through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The system can also sense the environment. When the device works beyond its limits, the system generates an alarm.
The equipment enables you to view alarm messages on the terminal. Alarm messages are displayed on the terminal interface, and saved in the buffer. You can also view all the alarms saved in the buffer using a command on the device.
Alarm messages fall into the following three categories in terms of nature:
l Failure alarms: Alarms generated due to the failure of hardware or some key functions;
l Recovery alarms: Alarms generated when the faulty device or abnormal functions are recovered;
l Event alarms: Warnings or alarms generated when the fault and the recovery messages do not match.
This section includes the following contents:
l Alarm Message Format
l Alarm Message Description
l Alarm Level
l Alarm Modules
l Alarm Parameters
An alarm starts with a “#” and takes the following format.

Figure 1-1 Alarm output format
The fields in the format are described as follows.
l TimeStamp
It specifies the time when the alarm is generated. It is in the format of “Mmm dd hh:mm:ss yyyy”.
“Mmm” stands for the month in English, that is, Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nove, and Dec.
“dd” is the date. If the value is smaller than 10, fill in as “space + date”, such as “ 7”.
“hh:mm:ss” is the local time. “hh” uses the 24-hour system, with a value ranging from 00 to 23. The values for both "mm" and “ss” range from 00 to 59.
“yyyy” specifies the year.
TimeStamp is separated from HostName by a space.
l HostName
It is the system name of the host, “H3C” by default.
HostName is separated from ModuleName by a space.
l ModuleName
It specifies the module that generates the alarm. ModuleName is separated from Alarm level by a slash (/).
l Alarm Level
Alarms fall into four Alarm level ranks, ranging from 1 to 4.
Alarm level is separated from Brief by a slash (/).
l Brief
It contains a short term to brief the alarm.
Brief is separated from Description by a colon (:).
l Description
It contains the character string sent by the module to the information center to detail the specific content of this alarm.

The meaning of the alarm message. |
|
Alarm type |
The nature of the alarm message. |
|
Alarm level |

|
Alarm parameter |
Paramters contained in the alarm message used for alarm location and translation. |
|
Function type |
It specifies the function domain to which the fault belongs. |
II. Trigger action
It describes probable causes of the alarm message, and locates the exact reasons.
III. Recommended action
It provides the advice for further diagnosis and recovery based on the cause of the alarm message.
IV. Related alarm message
It describes the related alarm message to locate the root cause of the alarm message and reasons related alarm message occurs.
The alarm level identifies the severity of an alarm message. It has the following four ranks with severity in a descending sequence: Critical, Major, Minor, and Warning. For descriptions, see the following table.
Table 1-2 Alarm level description
|
Alarm level |
Definition |
Description |
|
1 |
Critical |
Such failure affects the services provided by the system and requires action at once. For example, when certain device or resource is completely unavailable, it requires recovery at once. Even if the failure occurs outside the working time, immediate actions are required. |
|
2 |
Major |
Such failure affects the quality of the service, and requires urgent recovery. For example, when the quality of certain device or resource declines, it must be restored so that the full capatility is recovered. In the case of occurrence in working hours, immediate actions are required. |
|
3 |
Minor |
Such failure does not affect the quality of the service at the moment. But to avoid more severe failures, processing at proper time or further observation is required. |
|
4 |
Warning |
Such failure indicates that there may be potential errors that affect the service. Related measures vary with the errors. |
