Enable for storage pool utilizations three different threshold limits, which can set at the same time

Hello IBM-team,
can you please enable for SVC storage pool utilizations three different threshold limits, which can set at the same time ?
The goal is: generate warning events at three different storage pool utilization levels, which can individually be set to (in example) 80%, 85% and 90%.

    Thank you for submitting this enhancement request. We have reviewed this request and believe it is a good candidate. I expect that richer alerts with more customization and multiple thresholds will be based on Storage Insights, but I will keep this RFE (Idea) open an assigned to Spectrum Virtualize for now.

    We appreciate your input and hope that you will continue to submit enhancement requests, as this feedback is a key component to shaping the future direction of Spectrum Virtualize and FlashSystem family.



    Thanks,
    SpecV Team

    We will settle for 2 warning levels. First one as it is set up today, informational message sent. Second, more of a warning or action needed alert, email sent and possibly a few automatic action items to take. For example, migrate a set of predetermined volumes to a pool with more free space (with same extent size of course), or add mdisks currently un-managed, etc. Thank you.
