Can you tell me the exact eventname ?

Are you talking about the NTP time difference in the filer ?

Regards

adai

Hi - I am looking for a name, severity and any threshold for event generated (if any?) when the time difference between Filer and NTP server or rtc exceeds the max_skew. thanks

I am not aware of any existing DFM events for this.

We're considering adding an event when a storage system clock skews from the DFM station clock, either ahead or behind, but it's not targetted at a specific release right now.

An update: OnCommand 5.0 has functionality to monitor time skew. See KB 1013384 titled "How to monitor time skew using OnCommand Core 5.0" for more information and answers to the original question.
