Hello experts,
I have a situation where my customer is hosting multiple tenants by means of virtual contexts. We recently upgraded our Prime Infrastructure to version 3.1 to enable us to apply alarm policies to filter down on both the number and type of events that were triggering alarm email notifications. We would like for each organization to customize or tailor their alarm filters within their respective virtual context, but whenever they attempt to modify the default alarm policies when they attempt to save and activate them, the following error is always displayed: (see attached: pi31_alarm_policies_virtual_context.pdf)
However, if i change context to the ROOT-DOMAIN and apply the very same alarm policies from that context, the policies activate and are saved successfully. (see attached: pi31_root-domain_alarm_policies_successful.pdf) Obviously, we would prefer for each organization to be able to administer their respective virtual contexts (and alarm policies) on their own without requiring outside assistance. I cant find anywhere in the documentation that states alarm policies can only be configured from the ROOT-DOMAIN, but have yet to get the policies applied from within a virtual context. I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
TIA,
Brett

Hi Brett,
This is a bug. Virtual Domain support is not available for Alarm Policies. Seems that this is relegated to the root domain only.
CSCva86700 Should not be able to edit alarm policy in non Root Domain
<B>Symptom:</B>
If a user is in a Prime Infrastructure virtual domain other than "ROOT-DOMAIN" and tries to change the interface alarm policy and save it, an error "An error has been occurred while saving and activating the policy, please try again" is returned. If the same steps are followed in the "ROOT-DOMAIN", it saves fine.
<B>Conditions:</B>
Unable to save new interface alarm policy in other than the Root Domain.
<B>Workaround:</B>
PI 3.1.4 now correctly makes non ROOT-DOMAIN read only
Hope that helps.
