Hi Jeetu,

I'm not much of an expert on Operations Manager, but I think if you set up a specific volume setting to 98% it will override whichever global default is currently in effect.

Home --> Group Status --> Summary --> click on (number of) volumes --> click on your volume --> under Volume Tools in the lower left corner, click on Edit Quota Settings --> enter desired value in Volume Nearly Full Threshold window --> click Update --> OK.

As for global default, perhaps it just needs to be refreshed. Not sure how to do that, though.

Regards,

Igor

Just tested it successfully... I've set up a volume, left default Volume Nearly Full Threshold at 80%, defined volume's own threshold at 85% and started copying data.

Surely enough, at 81% nothing happened - but as soon as crossed the 85% limit, a "Volume Almost Full" event was registered and Global warning was issued.

Hi

Thanks for your immediate reply, but I have a query that after made changes on Global setting to 98% also am getting alerts for 95%.

As you said, if I see in ‘Edit Volume Quota Settings’

Volume Full Threshold (%)

If no value entered, default (99) will be used.

Volume Nearly Full Threshold (%)

If no value entered, default (98) will be used.

I request you to cheange your settings from 85% to 98% and let me know the result.

Same thing happened. I left defaults for NearlyFull and Full to 80% and 90% respectively, and made a 98% and 99% setup for the test volume. I copied data carefully to make sure OM has time enogh to register space consumption, and as soon as volume capacity reached 98% - it registered the event and a warning was issued. Local settings override the global defaults.

I have done the settings as you mentioned. (Global settings are as default…… 95% for VolumeNearlyFull and 99% Volume full).

I set up a specific volume setting to 98% but no luck ...... is there any time interval to get update after changing the threshold settings.

As far as I know, the change in threshold is immediate. You can double-check with this command:

dfm volume get <storage_name>:/<volume_name>

I don't know why it's still sending out alerts on 95%... This should do the trick.

DataFabric Manager is version 3.7 but no matter, it should be able to handle simple thresholds.

The current version 4.0 has been released in february 2010, but I'm not sure if an upgrade will help solve the problem. However, if the threshold problem is not present on just that one volume, but in fact all of them, perhaps you can install the new version on a test server and see if it will perform better than the old one.
