system_alert threshold

Sets the criteria for generating system alerts that notify you about the storage space usage levels.

   [{‑timeout timeout‑in‑seconds | ‑verify | ‑usage | ‑example | ‑help}] 

DESCRIPTION

The capacity for the clone repository is specified when you provision the source LUN. You can specify thresholds whereby the system generates a system alert when predefined storage usage thresholds are crossed. To specify the thresholds, run the system_alert ‑threshold ‑lunRepository command with any combination of options.

The storage pool is the capacity that is shared by all storage domains. Run the system_alert ‑threshold ‑storagePool command to set the conditions that, if met, the system generates storage pool usage alerts.

Note: Only administrators with primary administrator, admin1, admin2, monitor, or support roles are authorized to run the system_alert threshold command.

OPTIONS

lowerBoundNearingLimit

Sets the storage usage capacity, that when reached, the Oracle FS System issues storage usage alerts. Allowed percentages: zero to 100.

lunRepository

Indicates that you are setting a threshold for clone LUN repository usage.

reachedLimit

Indicates that the Oracle FS System issues an alert indicating that the storage usage has reached the allocated limit. Specify as a percentage of allocated usage: zero to 100.

storagePool

Indicates that you are setting a threshold for storage pool usage.

upperBoundUsed

Indicates that the Oracle FS System automatically clears any system alerts that report usage concerns when the usage is below the specified percentage. Allowed percentages: zero to 100

EXAMPLE

Task
Generate system alerts when the Clone LUN repository usage exceeds 80%. Stop sending the alerts when the usage is less than 75%. If the maximum allocated limit reaches or exceeds 90%, send a more urgent alert to indicate that the integrity of the data is at risk.
Note: The data volatility or usage patterns determine the appropriate values for you to set for your environment. To obtain statistics and trending reports run the following commands:
  • The statistics ‑list ‑lun command returns real time statistics for the given LUNs.

  • The report ‑type ‑storageUse command generates storage usage information that you can use for trending.

Parameters
  • The percentage of the allocated Clone LUN storage capacity that, when reached, triggers the system to send warning alerts: 80%

  • The percentage of the allocated Clone LUN storage capacity that triggers the system to stop generating clone capacity usage alerts: 75%

  • The percentage of the allocated Clone LUN storage capacity that, when reached, triggers the system to send warning alerts: 90%
