Symptoms

OneFS generates the following event every hour, even when the node pool is healthy:       
Node pool <pool_name> (node pool ID: <ID>) is at or over capacity.
This message occurs on OneFS v8.2.2.x and later.

Cause

This event is generated when a node pool is at or over 70% utilization. This is working as designed and intended.

By default, a cluster generates Informational events when pool utilization exceeds 70%. Warning events are posted when pool utilization exceeds 80%, Critical events at 90%, and Emergency events at 97%.

Use the following command in OneFS v9.1 or later to view current event threshold settings:

cluster-2# isi event thresholds view 100010015
         ID: 100010015
    ID Name: SYS_DISK_POOLFULL
Description: Percentage at which a nodepool is near capacity
   Defaults: info (70%), warn (80%), crit (90%), emerg (97%)
 Thresholds: info (70%), warn (80%), crit (90%), emerg (97%)

Resolution

Verify the health of the node pool with the following command:      

# isi storagepool nodepools list -v 

OneFS versions v8.2.2 to v9.0 cannot be changed and the only solution for those clusters is to get the pool utilization below 70% capacity. Manually resetting CELOG does not address the issue.

Beginning with OneFS v9.1 the thresholds for the event can be adjusted. The following example adjusts the Informational Alert Threshold from 70% to 75%.

View the current Diskpool Threshold settings.  Note that the Info Threshold defaults to 70%.
 
isilon-2# isi event thresholds view 100010015
         ID: 100010015
    ID Name: SYS_DISK_POOLFULL
Description: Percentage at which a nodepool is near capacity
   Defaults: info (70%), warn (80%), crit (90%), emerg (97%)
 Thresholds: info (70%), warn (80%), crit (90%), emerg (97%)

This example changes the Info Threshold to 75%

isilon-2# isi event thresholds modify 100010015 --info=75

isilon-2# isi event thresholds view 100010015
         ID: 100010015
    ID Name: SYS_DISK_POOLFULL
Description: Percentage at which a nodepool is near capacity
   Defaults: info (70%), warn (80%), crit (90%), emerg (97%)
 Thresholds: info (75%), warn (80%), crit (90%), emerg (97%)
