Frank, We recently ran across this issue ourselves. I have corrected this by changing the "Event Creation Enabled" attribute for the fanouts to No. This effectively removes the fanout from correlation and allows the alarms to land on the connected end devices rather then suppressing the end device alarms and alarming on the fanout. This can be done to multiple fanout models via a locator search and the attribute editor. A quick easy fix. My only concern now is going forward whether to make it the default attribute or not. Good Luck,

We have the following problem now. Sending an alarm for a fanout will never open a ticket in out ticketing system (something called ITIL and CIID) how can I change the environment of Spectrum to set the alarm to all connected VMs. in my opinion it would be enough to tell the fanout always to be UP. then the root cause automatically detects the VMs as down. Thank you for your attention.
