Hi all,

a customer is currently experiencing a warning stating that " insufficient free space in a storage pool in case that a pool recovery operation needs to be initiated".

Evironment: VNX5300 with no FAST-VP. Flare 5.32.000.5.215 recently upgraded from 5.31.

Space left is effectively 0%. Customer doesn't use any kind of Snapshot, MV, or need to migrate data. He has only plain Storage Pools made by only 1 tier of disks ( say like all SAS o all NL-SAS).

Where can i find documentation about this space needed for "recovery operations"?

Also, after opening a SR, EMC support stated that "Pool internal operations" cannot be performed when space left is 0%.

Are all these "Pool internal operations" regarding features not used by customer as said above?

I tried to search on support some documentation about this but didn't manage to find.

Any help would be appreciated

Regards

Sergio
