In a Central Admin Server Option environment (CASO), alerts generated on a managed media server are automatically rolled up to the central administration server. To see those alerts on the central administration server, you must configure alert categories to enable or disable alerts on each managed media server in the CASO environment, and on the central administration server itself.
See Configuring alerts on the central administration server.
After you respond to and clear the active alert on the central administration server, the alert is cleared on the managed media server as well.
If you enable Backup Exec alerts on a managed media server without enabling alerts on the central administration server, alerts appear only on the managed media server where they are generated; they will not appear on the central administration server.
Enable and configure alerts at the central administration server, and then copy the alert configurations to a managed media server. When the alert is generated on a managed media server, it appears on both the managed media server and the central administration server.
See Copying alerts to managed media servers.
On the central administration server, you can view alerts for all managed media servers, or you can filter the alerts to view only those for a specific managed media server or media server pool.
