Since the severity level for an element is set by the manufacturer, the meanings of the severity levels vary. It is best to view the description of the event.
Use the Severity menu to filter which type of events you want to view. It displays the severity icons with the selected severity level or higher. For example, you can be notified of only critical and major
events by selecting Major from the Severity menu and clicking the 
button.
NOTE: If you select a severity, click the 
button, and then leave System Manager, System Manager remembers your selection.

About Groups
System Manager lets you group together hosts and storage systems that have been labeled Discovered, so the management server sees them as one element in the topology. The management server labels an element as "Discovered" when it has discovered the element, but it cannot obtain additional information about it. Grouped elements preserve space in the topology, since only one element is displayed to represent the group. It also provides a way to keep track of all your "Discovered" hosts and storage systems.
Grouping Discovered Hosts
If you have several Discovered hosts, you might want to group them together, so the management server sees them as one element in the topology. Grouped elements preserve space in the topology, since only one Discovered host is displayed to represent the group. Grouping also provides a way to keep track of your "Discovered" hosts.
Keep in mind the following:
•A user's role must include an access level of Element Control or Full Control for hosts. See ”Editing Roles” on page 149 for more information about the access level of a role.
•Grouped elements are still seen as Discovered, so the management server is unable to monitor or manage them.
