VNX event codes for up/down alerting
I'd like to set up my VNX's to send up/down alerts via SNMP. I know how to create a notification template in Unisphere (System > Monitoring and Alerts > Notifications for Block > Notification Templates) but I don't know which event codes relate directly to data unavailability. So far, I've been checking the boxes for the following critical errors in the Basic Array Features category:
0x0A02
0x0A06
0x0A07
0x0A23
0x0A25
0x0A2E
However, these are only my best guess. Does anyone have better suggestions as to which event codes are useful for up/down alerting? Thank you!

No - when each new model comes out, there is a section in the Technical section about the new codes added. The one I linked to was for VNX2 - these are the codes that were added to the existing base. When the VNX1 came out, that also had a list of new codes that build on top of the CX4.
I don't have a single list of all the codes that are available.
This is for Flare code release 30 (used on the CX4)

This is for the VNX1 - see the Events and Alerts section
https://support.emc.com/docu70786_Unisphere_1.2.31.1.0321_Release_Notes.pdf?language=en_US
Between these three you should have most of the event and alert codes for the VNX series

Thank you, glen. I see the event codes added and modified, but is this an exhaustive list of all event codes that exist?
