RETAIN tip: H207287
Symptom
When the IBM System Storage DS Storage Manager 10.8x is configured to send alert messages for non-critical (Informational, Warning, Debug) events, these messages are not received. Alert messages for Critical events are received.
This function appears to work only for messages representing Critical events, even though the Storage Manager has a selection for choosing to send alerts for non-critical events.
This function is configured by going to the Enterprise Management Window and selecting:
Edit -> Configure Alerts -> Filtering. In the next window, there are radio buttons for the four different types of events.
Regardless of whether the user selects the buttons for Informational, Warning, or Debug, the selection is ignored and the messages for those events are not sent.

The system can be any of the following IBM servers:
- DS4100 (FAStT100) Dual-Controller Storage Server, type 1724, any model
