Description

Sends an alarm to the CMP system containing the specified severity level and message text. This alarm is written to the Alarm History Report, and will appear in the Active Alarms display for one hour, until cleared, or unless the server fails over, whichever comes first. Alarms generated by policy actions do not affect the HA score of a server, and will not cause a failover. For more information, see the appropriate CMP User's Guide.
