This function monitors the threshold values for the Thin Provisioning Pool capacity used.
The values of the "Caution threshold value" and the "Warning threshold value" set for each Thin Provisioning Pool and the Threshold monitoring status are displayed. The "Caution threshold value" and the "Warning threshold value" are prepared at the disk storage system, and are the threshold values for Thin Provisioning Pool capacity used.
The initial values for the "Caution threshold value" and the "Warning threshold value" are set by the disk storage system when a Thin Provisioning Pool is created. If required, change the settings for the capacity threshold values.
Set the threshold values by using the Web Console.
If threshold values are exceeded, then follow the procedures below:
Detection of status change
When a threshold value is exceeded, the product displays an SNMP Trap in the event log, which notifies the change in Thin Provisioning Pool status at the disk storage system.
Refreshing
After checking the displayed event, perform [Reload Conf.] on the applicable storage system.
Checking the status of the Thin Provisioning Pool
Start the Thin Provisioning Pool monitor window and check the Thin Provisioning Pool status. Extend disks or take other action in accordance with the exceeded threshold values.
See
If the SNMP Trap that notifies of changes in the Thin Provisioning Pool status is not received due to packet loss or other reason, then the product detects the change by polling the Thin Provisioning Pool information of the disk storage system. Since the polling interval is one hour, the time from status change to detection is within one hour. The polling intervals can be customized. For details, refer to "Polling Service Setting File" in the "ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser Operation Guide".
Information
Even if capacity reaches "Caution threshold value" which is set for each LogicalVolume, SNMP trap will not be sent. "Caution threshold value" for LogicalVolume is a threshold value for unallocated capacity of LogicalVolume which is at the disk storage system.
