This would be great for non-production volumes. But it’s high recommended that these warning stay on for production. The on-call person will thank you in the morning.

If you're not using snapshots, you can fill the volume for 100%.

Operations manager will standard warn you for 'volume almost full' at 80% and 'volume full' at 90%. The filer will also warn you if the used space in the volume exceeds 97%. You can change this on a per-volume basis to be able to fill your volume completely without the filer constantly complaining about a warning condition.

Use the following commands to change this per volume:

filer> priv set advanced
Warning: These advanced commands are potentially dangerous; use
          them only when directed to do so by Network Appliance
          personnel.
filer*> registry set options.thresholds.volumename.fsFull 101
filer*> registry set options.thresholds.volumename.fsNearlyFull 101
filer*> priv set

Setting the threshold to 101% will make it possible to fill the volume to 100%.

Be warned that these are advanced commands and that you are changing the registry directly, so I can't be responsible for problems ;-)

Grtz,

Tom

Is there a requirement for the volume that contains an iSCSI LUN to have a minimum amount of free space. We seem to be getting warnings when it approaches 90% full. Is it a modifiable parameter?
