This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM System Storage products. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.
Welcome to the IBM Ideas Portal (https://www.ibm.com/ideas) - Use this site to find out additional information and details about the IBM Ideas process and statuses.
IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com) - Use this site to view all of your ideas, create new ideas for any IBM product, or search for ideas across all of IBM.

TIP events are very useful to give an advice for some parameters to have configuration best practices and to achieve best performance on Scale Clusters.
For example :
hc_alert_scalehc_00006 = NumaInterleave is not enabled on a multi-CPU system
hc_core_memory_00088 = On Linux systems it is recommended you adjust the vm.min_free_kbytes kernel tunable.
However, for some mixed / multi-platform environment, the settings are not valid for all nodes within the cluster the recommended setting is not applicable (for example, a witness node with only 4 GB of RAM would not allow to set vm.min_free_kbyte to 2 GB) and then, the administrator hide the event to clear the TIP.
Same is true for other tunings like - pagepool. maxStatCache and maxFilestoCache which might not be possible to tune in the best practice threshold for a client node, but it would be important for all other nodes.
The mmhealth event hide command is cluster-wide, so it hides the event for all entities and all nodes.
This might impact the client, for example, the vm.min_free_kbytes was changed in a protocol node to a smaller value. Although the TIP event would report the value is not ideal for that protocol nodes, because it is hidden, it does not notify the administrator.
The request is to add the -N option the the mmhealth command.
# mmhealth event hide <event> -N <nodes>

I agree, good idea ! More granularity is helpful in this case
