7.6.3 CM load error

Report detail:
CM XX in the high load state was detected.

The monitoring states of other presumably related targets are as follows:
<Monitoring state of each CM> <- (1)
[CM0x00] High load state detected 
[CM0x01] Not detected
[CM0x10] Not detected 
[CM0x11] Not detected

Related graph:
Refer to the CM utilization graph.
Refer to the IOPS graph of each LogicalVolume. <- (2)

Guidelines for corrective measure:
1. I/O may be concentrated on the RAIDGroups under control of the same CM <- (2)
    By referring to the monitoring state of each CM, distribute I/O to RAIDGroups under control of a CM with a low load.
2. If the monitoring state of every CM is "Monitoring" or "High load state detected," the number of CMs is probably too small to meet every I/O request. 
    Consider adding or upgrading hardware.
Descrition of (1)

Indicates the states of other CMs during the same time zone as the relevant CM detected a high load state.

High load state detected

An alarm log indicating a load error in the relevant CM is generated during the same time zone.

Monitoring

The CM is monitoring for alarm detection because the threshold has been exceeded several times although no events have been detected as an alarm.

Not detected

The relevant CM did not cause a bottleneck during the same time zone.

Descrition of (2)

If only the relevant CM detected a high load state, I/O access is unevenly concentrated on the CM.
Refer to the IOPS graphs of RAIDGroups and LogicalVolumes and take measures such as distributing I/O loads of each CM.

Point

CM is put in high load state when a transaction is in contention with advanced copy.
In this case, review the operation mode so that advanced copy is executed in a time slot in which a transaction load is relatively small. Alternatively, if the same CM controls both the copy source and target volumes (RAIDGroups), use separate CMs to control the source and target volumes.
