Standard
For example, if you select a server, the alarm browser shows alarms for the server
only, not for the network elements deployed on the server.
If you select a network element, the browser shows alarms generated by the
network element application only, not alarms for the server or other applications
on the server. Administrators can start more than one browser, allowing them to
view alarms for specific elements separately.
Table 12 “Alarm details” on page 83 lists the information that is displayed for
alarms in the alarm browser. An asterisk (*) indicates information that is available
only after you select the alarm.
