Prefailure Notification

[Colin Moors]

This is my first experience of SIM, and I have found it - and the information on this forum - very useful. I have alerts set to warn of disk degredation and failure, but would like to be alerted to prefailure.

Is there an option in task setup to warn of this, or do I have to make do with aggregating the number of physical disk errors and making an informed decision? I may well be missing something obvious here, but any suggestions or information would be most welcome.

Just a further point - is 'degradation' and 'prefailure' the same thing? It sounds as though it could be, but things aren't always as they seem!
