For -category, enter either the category name (Informational, Warning, or Critical) or the abbreviation (I for Informational, W for Warning, or C for Critical). For a description of the parameters, see Command Parameters. Examples Display all alerts, their numerical IDs, and their current settings (enabled or disabled): ASMCLI -alert The following examples show two ways of listing all of the Warning alerts and their current settings: ASMCLI -alert -category=W ASMCLI -alert -category=warning Disable the critical alert for MPIO Logout Errors: ASMCLI -alert -disable=25 Enable all critical alerts: ASMCLI -alert -enableall=C ASMCLI -breaksmartcopy When VSS is used to create a Smart Copy, it changes the disk signature, and it sets some attributes (HIDDEN, READONLY, SHADOWCOPY, and NO_DEFAULT_DRIVE_LETTER). If VSS is used to restore the volume, or if the volume is mounted using ASM or ASMCLI, these changes are automatically reverted. It might be useful to be able to undo these changes on demand; for example: • If you are creating replica volumes and you want to be able to promote the replicas and use them on remote failover servers. In this case, you are not performing a restore operation, so the changes made by VSS will not be reverted, and when you attempt to mount the promoted replicas, they will not automatically be assigned drive letters because of the attributes VSS has set on them. Executing this command can prepare a set of replicas to be used in this way. • If you need to be able to restore a Smart Copy by rolling back the volume in the Group Manager GUI without using ASM/ME. Note that ASM/ME normally resets the disk signature when creating any kind of Smart Copy of a boot volume, so Smart Copies of boot volumes do not require you to use this command. When the Smart Copy boots to the operating system for the first time, there will be a message displayed that the O/S was not properly shutdown. The user will be asked to boot normally or boot to repair. This is to be expected since the Smart Copy was taken with the operating system running. There should be nothing to repair and the user can choose the option to boot normally.

Examples
Display all alerts, their numerical IDs, and their current settings (enabled or disabled):
ASMCLI -alert
The following examples show two ways of listing all of the Warning alerts and their current settings:
ASMCLI -alert -category=W

Disable the critical alert for MPIO Logout Errors:
ASMCLI -alert -disable=25
Enable all critical alerts:
ASMCLI -alert -enableall=C
ASMCLI -breaksmartcopy
When VSS is used to create a Smart Copy, it changes the disk signature, and it sets some attributes (HIDDEN, READONLY,
SHADOWCOPY, and NO_DEFAULT_DRIVE_LETTER). If VSS is used to restore the volume, or if the volume is mounted using ASM or
ASMCLI, these changes are automatically reverted. It might be useful to be able to undo these changes on demand; for example:
•
If you are creating replica volumes and you want to be able to promote the replicas and use them on remote failover servers. In this
case, you are not performing a restore operation, so the changes made by VSS will not be reverted, and when you attempt to mount
the promoted replicas, they will not automatically be assigned drive letters because of the attributes VSS has set on them. Executing
this command can prepare a set of replicas to be used in this way.
•
If you need to be able to restore a Smart Copy by rolling back the volume in the Group Manager GUI without using ASM/ME. Note
that ASM/ME normally resets the disk signature when creating any kind of Smart Copy of a boot volume, so Smart Copies of boot
volumes do not require you to use this command.
When the Smart Copy boots to the operating system for the first time, there will be a message displayed that the O/S was not properly
shutdown. The user will be asked to boot normally or boot to repair. This is to be expected since the Smart Copy was taken with the
operating system running. There should be nothing to repair and the user can choose the option to boot normally.
