--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Check Result: Warning

 

Cause

After going through TRiiAGE_SPlogs.txt and /nas/log/check_health.160829-081403.log, it is seen that Pool P4 has exceeded the capacity threshold.

 

Resolution

To rectify the situation:

  1. Under Storage, select Pools.
  2. Select the relevant pool, and then select the Edit icon.
  3. On the Usage tab, increase the alert threshold to a percentage above the used amount.
  4. Rerun the Pre Upgrade Health Checks
Note: The alert threshold is the percentage of storage allocation at which Unisphere generates notifications about the amount of space remaining in the pool. You can set this value between 50% and 84%.

 

Additional Information

These logs are posted in the TRiiAGE_SPlogs.txt after modifying the alert threshold of P4 Storage Pool. No errors are seen after the second health check which is an indication of a clean run without errors or warnings.
