volume going offline

We feel that a lun going offline should be an error, so we can easily get paged on it.

right now a space efficent volume going off line when full should be a error not a warn

error codes 060001 to 060006

    Can you provide more information about your need here?


    Note that 'Error' vs 'Warning' in the CLI is not an indicator of severity.

    The only difference is:
    Errors also call out to IBM Support
    Warnings do not call out to IBM Support

    Error and warning both send notifications and have action required (check error message, run fix, etc.)

    You can optionally choose specific messages to prompt action by using your internal rules, monitoring tools, or Storage Insights customized alerts.

    Thanks,
    FlashSystem Team

    Hi Team,

    Could you review this topic again and make the "vdisk offline alert should be an Error and not as Warning" ?

    Currently (while not desired here obviously) we follow a strategy that an error causes a "call home" to be issued to IBM, whereas a warning does not. The lun going offline behavior would generate too many errors to call home on per the current architecture. We will be evaluating our alerting architecture over time to see if we can implenent changes that will assist this particular case along with others.
