Procedure

1. Log in to DeviceManager.
2. Choose Provisioning > Storage Pool.

   The Properties of Storage Pool dialog box is displayed.

4. Click the Advanced tab.

   Table 4-4 describes the related parameters.

   Table 4-4 Storage pool advanced parameters

   Parameter	Description	Setting
   Used Capacity Alarm Threshold (%)	If the storage pool contains a file system with value-added services or a thin file system, an alarm will be generated when the percentage of the storage pool's used capacity to its total capacity reaches the used capacity alarm threshold. Alarms are generated in the following circumstances: When the used capacity reaches the used capacity alarm threshold, the system generates an alarm informing that the capacity of storage pool is insufficient. When the used capacity alarm threshold is not greater than 88 and the used capacity reaches 90%, the system generates an alarm informing that the storage pool is running out. When the used capacity alarm threshold is greater than 88 and the used capacity reaches (used capacity alarm threshold + 2) %, the system generates an alarm informing that the storage pool is running out. NOTE: If the used capacity alarm threshold is set to 85: When the used capacity reaches 85%, the system generates an alarm informing that the capacity of storage pool is insufficient. When the used capacity reaches 90%, the system generates an alarm informing that the storage pool is running out. If the used capacity alarm threshold is set to 91: When the used capacity reaches 93%, the system generates an alarm informing that the storage pool is running out. A proper used capacity alarm threshold helps you monitor the capacity usage of a storage pool.	[Value range] 1 to 95 [Default Value] 80
