OneView - Clearing Alerts via PowerShell based on Alert "Description"

[gcj2021]

Hello!

I currently use PowerShell command to clear Locked alerts when necessary, but I need the ability to clear alerts based on the Name/Description of the alert.

Get-OVServer | Get-OVAlert -State Locked | Set-OVAlert -Cleared 

The above works, but I need to define the alert based on the name to clear specific alerts.

I tried the below, with no luck.

Get-OVServer | Get-OVAlert -Description "Overall security status of the system is at risk" -State Active | Set-OVAlert -Cleared 

Any help would be great! Also, it needs to be PowerShell.

The only way to accomplish this is with the following 1-liner:

Get-OVServer | Get-OVAlert -State Active | ? description -eq "Overall security status of the system is at risk" | Set-OVAlert -Cleared -Notes "Clearing locked alert from PowerShell by $($ConnectedSessions.Username)"

Thanks Chris! Works well.

Any idea why this is not working? I've a few servers with disk errors (false alarms as this now happens on all server with PCIe NVMes after update)

# Get-OVServer | Get-OVAlert -State Active | ? description -like "The status of the PCIe disk at location*"

Not sure what this etag is, pretty new to OV + pwsh.

# Get-OVServer | Get-OVAlert -State Active | ? description -like "The status of the PCIe disk at location*" | Set-OVAlert -Cleared
Set-OVAlert: [Send-OVRequest]: The specified ETag does not match the current ETag of the alert. Specify a valid ETag for the alert.

Note parameter is also not accepted. HPEOneView.850 used.

Get-OVServer -Name kdev0112* | Get-OVAlert -State Active | ? description -like "The status of the PCIe disk at location*" | Set-OVAlert -Cleared -Notes "test"
Set-OVAlert: Parameter set cannot be resolved using the specified named parameters. One or more parameters issued cannot be used together or an insufficient number of parameters were provided.

I was able to clear other types like below sucessfully.

# Get-OVServer | Get-OVAlert -State Active | ? description -like "Platform Configuration Register(PCR)*" | Set-OVAlert -Cleared
