PowerProtect Data Manager 19.10 Administration and User Guide

Monitoring storage capacity thresholds

PowerProtect Data Manager periodically monitors protection storage usage and reports alerts when a system reaches two capacity thresholds. As a best practice, check for these alerts and respond before the system exhausts storage capacity.

At 80% capacity, PowerProtect Data Manager generates a weekly warning alert. At this threshold, you should develop a strategy to add capacity or move protection policies to another storage target. Managing Protection Policies provides more information about moving policies.

At 95% capacity, PowerProtect Data Manager generates a daily critical alert. At this threshold, capacity exhaustion is imminent.

Changing the capacity alerting thresholds requires contacting Support.
