Flag Definition
In most cases, flags can be set and cleared by users. For example, you might
mark a resource to indicate that a problem has been reported with the resource,
and the product is under investigation.
Each flag has an associated Note field, where you can enter your own text.
This text can be viewed from the
Resource Properties Information Page
To change the flag on a resource, use the
Information page of the
Resource Properties notebook or use a context menu item.
To change which flags to display in the
view filter, use the
Status page of the Console Properties
notebook.
Valid flags are:
- Marked
- The meaning of a "Marked" flag is customer-defined. For example, an operator
may mark a resource to indicate that it is being serviced.
- Suspended
- Valid only for real resources. The resource is suspended from
participation in aggregation and, if it is a RODM resource,
from inclusion in exception views.
- Automatically clear suspended
- Valid only for real resources.
The suspended resource will automatically resume participation in aggregation
and exception views when it returns to a satisfactory state.
- Child suspended
- Valid only for RODM aggregates. At least one real resource under
the aggregate has a status of suspended.
- Status not valid
- The host connection has been lost. Status for the resource is unknown.
Resources that are managed by the Tivoli NetView for z/OS
resource status manager (called shadow objects) will always
display this flag.
- Threshold inconsistency
- Valid only for aggregates. The aggregation thresholds for the
resource are not consistent with the total number of real resources
in the aggregate or with the rules for setting thresholds. Aggregation
will not function correctly until the thresholds are corrected.
For example, the aggregation thresholds are set at 5/10/15, but the
aggregate contains only four child resources.
To change thresholds, use the Aggregation page
of the Resource Properties notebook.
- Not monitored
- Valid only for real RODM resources. The resource is defined in RODM but is not
receiving status.
- SNA alert pending
- Valid only for real RODM resources.
An alert from a real device is pending. SNA alert pending occurs only on SNA shadow
objects placed in RODM.
- Automation in progress
- Valid only for RODM resources. This status is set in RODM
by an automation application.
