Nimble capacity threshold alerts

Hi

Are there any pre-configured space thresholds that will trigger email alerts when these thresholds are breached? eg will the Nimble send a warning when overall array capacity hits 80% full and perhaps a critical alert when it reaches 90% full?

Are these same alerts applied to individual volumes also?

many thanks

Re: Nimble capacity threshold alerts

 When the usage limit is reached, the performance policy associated with the volume determines the next action 
An alert is also sent.
You can configure warning levels (a volume usage warning level and a snapshot usage warning level) below the usage limits so you get an alert before the limit is actually reached.

In most cases, you should set the quota to 100% (no quota). Some applications do not tolerate changes to volume sizes. Quotas were developed to address this issue. Using quotas lets you set a limit but leave room in case more space is needed.

Note: Volume usage limit must be greater than or equal to both the volume reserve and the volume warning level.
