Relevant section for you would be:

 

SNMP-specific files
VCS includes two SNMP-specific files: vcs.mib and vcs_trapd, which are created
in /etc/VRTSvcs/snmp. The file vcs.mib is the textual MIB for built-in traps that
are supported by VCS. Load this MIB into your SNMP console to add it to the list
of recognized traps.
The file vcs_trapd is specific to the HP OpenView Network Node Manager (NNM)
SNMP console. The file includes sample events configured for the built-in SNMP
traps supported by VCS. To merge these events with those configured for SNMP
traps:
xnmevents -merge vcs_trapd
When you merge events, the SNMP traps sent by VCS by way of notifier are
displayed in the HP OpenView NNM SNMP console.
 
If you grep for EVENT IN vcs_trapd then you will see lines like:
 
EVENT vcs40clusterGroupGlobalAttributeMismatchTrap .1.3.6.1.4.1.1302.3.8.10.2.2.0.10 "Error Alarms" Major
EVENT vcs40clusterGroupGlobalConcurrencyViolationTrap .1.3.6.1.4.1.1302.3.8.10.2.2.0.11 "Error Alarms" Critical
EVENT vcs40clusterFirstSystemUpTrap .1.3.6.1.4.1.1302.3.8.10.2.3.0.1 "Status Alarms" Normal
EVENT vcs40clusterSystemRestartingByHashadowTrap .1.3.6.1.4.1.1302.3.8.10.2.3.0.2 "Status Alarms" Warning
EVENT vcs40clusterSystemInJeopardyTrap .1.3.6.1.4.1.1302.3.8.10.2.3.0.3 "Status Alarms" Minor
 
But remember this is a sample file and for HP Openview only, so you may be able to edit this sort of file to change severity levels.

If you mean can I send messages depending on severity - so one user only gets errors, but another user also gets warnings - then yes, this is standard functionality in the NotifierMngr agent.  If you mean, for a given message, can I alter the severity (from say ERROR to WARNING), then no you can't do this.
