Warning Messages
A warning message alerts you to a possible problem and asks you to take corrective action before the system continues a task. For example, before you
format a diskette, a message may warn you that you may lose all data on the diskette. Warning messages usually interrupt the procedure and require you to
respond by typing y (yes) or n (no).
Diagnostics Messages
When you run a test group or subtest in system diagnostics, an error message may result. Diagnostic error messages are not covered in this section. Record
the message on a copy of the Diagnostics Checklist (see "
Getting Help
"), and then follow the instructions in that section for obtaining technical assistance.
Alert Messages
Systems management software generates alert messages for your system. For example, the software generates messages that appear in the SNMP trap log
file. Alert messages consist of information, status, warning, and failure messages for drive, temperature, fan, and power conditions. For more information, see
the systems management software documentation.
