Basic Concepts of Fault Management

  • Alarm:

    An alarm is generated when a device notifies users of a fault. Maintenance personnel learn the device running status and locate faults based on alarms.

  • Active alarm:

    An active alarm is the notification of generating an alarm. For example, the hwFanInvalid alarm indicates that the fan is faulty.

  • Clear alarm:

    A clear alarm is the notification of clearing an alarm. For example, the hwFanInvalidResume alarm indicates that the fan fault is rectified.

    Each active alarm maps a clear alarm.

  • Event:

    An event is generated to inform maintenance personnel of the device operating state.
