You just noticed an alarm with ID 15011 on a Cisco VCS. Which type of issue does this alarm signal?

Hardware alarms on Cisco VCS cover physical component failures such as disk or fan problems and use a different alarm ID range than 15011.

On Cisco VCS, alarm IDs are organized into numeric ranges corresponding to distinct issue categories, and alarm 15011 falls within the software alarm range used to report application-level problems such as service failures or process errors. Software alarms on VCS are distinct from hardware, network, or licensing alarms, each of which occupies a separate numeric range in the alarm ID schema.

Network alarms on VCS relate to connectivity and interface issues and are assigned a separate alarm ID range that does not include 15011.

Licensing alarms on VCS specifically report on license capacity, validity, or expiration and are assigned a distinct alarm ID range separate from 15011.
