Hotfix H04 for 9.2 will resolve this scenario.  Here is the description from 
the H04 Release Notice - 

Symptom: OneClick displays negative alarm counts under the VNM / SpectroSERVER 
Control / Alarm Information tab (the negative value(s) may be displayed as huge 
values, due to unsigned integer representation). 

Resolution: The vnm.out will now report abnormal internal alarm table insertion 
and deletion failures, so there won't be any more negative counts in such 
situations. In the case where it may happen in other situations, negative alarm 
count debugging (enabled by sending action 0xbabab00 to the AlarmMgmt device) 
now provides more information.

Subject: [spectrum] Negative Critical Alarms

I have a negative value for my total number of critical alarms on my primary 
Spectro server VNM (-31 last time I looked, though it fluctuates).  This 
differs drastically from the number shown in my alarms table.  Does anyone know 
what might cause this condition?

I am running a fault tolerant Spectrum 9.2 H03 installation on Linux.  Every 
day I get a critical alarm for  "Unresolved Alarms".  The secondary server is 
in hot stand-by.
