Severity |
Description |
|---|---|---|

Indicates that the fault decreases the system performance. Effective measures should be taken immediately. For example, the performance of a device or resources decreases significantly. Recover the system immediately during working hours. |
3 |
Minor |
Indicates that a fault occurs but does not decrease the system performance. To prevent the fault from causing a more serious one, observe the fault and remove it at a proper time. |
4 |
Warning |
Indicates that an error may occur and affect the system performance. The measures to be taken vary with the situation or the error. |
