Alert when Storwize devices are seeing slow internode traffic

If the internode traffic is too high for an extended period of time, send out a warning. If it above a certain threshold, send out an error. I'm not sure what the warning/error thresholds should be ( I'll leave that to IBM ). In this situation related to PMR 22848,004,000, we had an extended period of time when we had internode traffic that took between ,25 and 1.4ms when it usually is closer to .1.

    Philip Clark- If SI has that as an option, that is great. I want the devices themselves to be able to alert for this issue. This is no different than CRC and other issues SI now report. It is great that they can alert for these-but internode issues can be very bad. I think it should should also come from the devices themselves.

    SI Pro has all the performance data to set up an alert. Moving Idea to Storage Insights.
