Monitor thin volumes

You can monitor thin volumes for space and generate appropriate alerts, so that you can prevent out-of-capacity conditions.

Note
ThinkSystem System Manager does not provide an option to create thin volumes. If you want to create thin volumes, use the Command Line Interface (CLI).
  • Change allocated capacity limit for a thin volume
    For thin volumes capable of allocating space on demand, you can change the limit that restricts the allocated capacity to which a thin volume can automatically expand. You also can change the percentage point at which an alert (warning threshold exceeded) is sent to the Notifications area on the Home page when a thin volume is near the allocated capacity limit. You can choose to enable or disable this alert notification.
