I'm more of an OME guy, but I asked around and got a bit of detail. Hope it helps.
As per my understanding goes: OMSS marks the non-Dell drives as non-critical because they are not certified, but allows these in all the RAID operations.
However there is no acknowledgement is given to take away the warning sign. But if you are looking to block an event/alert then there may be a way to do this, but you'd have to open a support ticket and get some help from them to do this. 800-945-3355
While you really SHOULDN'T use non-certified drives in Dell raid setups, I think that server admins should have access to the knowledge to manage and configure their environments as they see fit, even if it may be to their own detriment. With that being said, you can disable the certified drive checks by following the info on this page: https://toughtechsite.wordpress.com/2017/12/03/the-case-of-non-certified-physical-drives-causing-war...
Standard responsibility disclaimer applies, not recommended, may void warranty, may negate availability of Dell assistance, etc. But for others who are ok with these risks, and/or are out of warranty support period anyway, you now have the information necessary to get rid of the unnecessary warning.
Side note for Dell: there really should be a way to disable these non-critical, arbitrary warnings in OMSA. I've missed ACTUAL VALID warnings because i got used to seeing the non-certified warning triangle in OMSA. You shouldn't be "Crying Wolf" when it comes to things like server administration.
