[Info-vax] Disk space alert thresholds for HP SMH

[Jeremy Begg]

Hi,

I've been asked to investigate how to change the disk space alert thresholds 
generated by HP Systems Management Homepage.

The system in question is running HP OpenVMS V8.4 on an rx2800 i2 server.
HPE System Management Homepage V2.2-3.0.

I'm not 100% convinced that the alert came from HP SMH.  I know this system is 
hooked into HP SIM at this site and I suspect that it's HP SIM which generated 
the alert based on data supplied by SMH.  But I have no way of knowing for sure.

The alert had this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Incident Information:

Short Desc: metmin: Cluster Monitor Status Change - Node: Alert from HPSIM

Service Catalogue Classification:  INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES, SERVER, Submit Incident

Description:

Event Name: Cluster Monitor Status Change - Node
URL: https://metmin:2381/
Event originator: metmin
Event Severity: Critical
Event received: 04-May-2021, 00:47:33
Event description: Monitor Status Change - Node


Event Details:

  CMX TEXT: Disk Resource: device status on node metmin of cluster metkl became 
critical.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The customer's in-house support team did some digging and found this on their 
HP-SIM console system:

Event Time    Saturday, 5/1/2021, 12:32 AM NZST Disk Resource: disk 
_METMIN$DKA4: on node metmin of cluster metkl crossed major threshold.
Event Time    Sunday, 5/2/2021, 7:39 AM NZST Disk Resource: device status on 
node metmin of cluster metkl became critical.
Event Time    Sunday, 5/2/2021, 7:43 AM NZST Disk Resource: disk _$100$LDA1: on 
node metmin of cluster metkl crossed minor threshold.
Event Time    Sunday, 5/2/2021, 7:43 AM NZST Disk Resource: disk _$100$LDA1: on 
node metmin of cluster metkl crossed minor threshold.
Event Time    Tuesday, 5/4/2021, 12:47 AM NZST Disk Resource: device status on 
node metmin of cluster metkl became critical.
Event Time    Tuesday, 5/4/2021, 12:52 AM NZST Disk Resource: disk _$100$LDA1: 
on node metmin of cluster metkl crossed minor threshold.

Unfortunately for this site the disks LDA1 and DKA4 always run close to "full" 
and don't need to be monitored at all.

Given the disk usage hasn't changed significantly, I asked why this alert had 
not previously come up.  The answer was "he’d moved something to AWS last week, 
and got emails working from it that may not have working before."


Thanks,

Jeremy Begg
