Needed changes for FS900 and FS840 systems
- Michael Pirker
This works only for BVQ Enterprise Edition!
IBM FS900 and FS840 systems have less performance data and will create a lot of "unknown results" in the alerting. This document shows how to modify single systems alerts to skip these systems.
We clone existing system alerts, add a filter to exclude these system types from processing and save them instead of the original alerts.
This is how the change in the alerts look like in an example

Step by Step
Create a clone from the system alert.
Go into the Alert configuration, find the alert and cerate a clone from this alert. This will open the alert definition dialog from the selected alert.
Add a new filter condition to the alert.
First Add the object type, second add the filter condition
Use the add button to expand the pre filter statement of the alert
Click into Object type and select the object type SVC Cluster
Add the filter condition with the button Add filter condition
- NOT ( device_model_name contains "FS900" OR device_model_name contains "FS840" ) into the text field or do the job with the button
- (1) select attribute - you find it in Attribute → Type->Device model
- Comparator - use contains
- Value - enter 920
Select Add condition and complete the condition
Save the modified selection
- Move the new selection as first selection with Drag&Drop
Check the path it has to be BVQ / SVC Cluster / SVC VDisk
Change the name of the alert (1) and and save it with the button bottom right of the form (2)
You will be asked whether you want to disable the predefined alert rule with saving the new rule and the answer should be yes
