Alarm Management
This chapter describes alarm classification, opening and exiting
alarm management.
OverviewAlarm management collects and manages various alarms thatoccur during the running of the equipment. Alarm managementtimely shows the running status of the network and detectsvarious faults.
The following topics describe the terms and concepts used inalarm management.
Alarm Classification
Alarms are classified by different standards especially by nature,time, system type, and alarm level.
Alarm
An alarm is a fault that occurs and persists during therunning of the system and affects the normal services andreliability of the system.
Notification
Notification is a fault or event that occurs during the runningof the system and is irrecoverable. Examples are board
restart and false power failure of a board.
Since such faults often result from accidental reasons suchas sudden environmental changes, no specific actions arerequired in such cases. Find out the cause, locate, andresolve it when a notification occurs frequently.

A current alarm is an active alarm that is already present but
is not cleared yet.
History alarm
A history alarm is an alarm that has occurred and has beencleared.
Correlation alarm
The alarms that occur in the system are correlated in someway, and the alarms are generated according to the
correlation rule.
iTC alarm
The alarms that concern the iTC equipment condition duringthe running of the system.
iTC Performance Management (PM) Quality of Service (QoS)alarm
The alarms that directly affect the running service quality ofthe system.
Link alarm
When the link between the iTC equipment and OMC server is
interrupted, the background alarm module generates linkalarm.
OMC alarm
The OMC alarm is reported when a fault occurs during the
running of the OMC.
Security alarm
During the running of the system, some security eventnotifications are generated to alert the administrator.
System management alarm
The system management module monitors the runningstatus of the specified equipment, for example, serverCPU/memory/hard disk utilization. If some indices fail toreach the preset thresholds, system management alarms aregenerated.
By default, the system alarms are divided into the followinglevels according to their severity:
Critical
Major
Minor
Warning
These levels may be modified if required.
