Changing alert levels

Prev Next

As described in Viewing cluster utilization, by default warning alerts are generated when the cluster utilization reaches 60% of capacity, and critical alerts are generated when the cluster utilization exceeds 85% of capacity.

You can change the levels at which warning and critical alerts will be generated. The warning level cannot be set to a higher value than the critical level.

To change the warning level:
  1. Log in to the Central Management CLI.

  2. Go to CLI configuration mode:

    cm-hostname > enable
    cm-hostname # configure terminal
  3. Specify the percentage:

    cm-hostname (config) # cmc mvx status cluster-sizing threshold warning
    <percentage>

    where percentage can be a value from 10–90 and must be less than the "critical" percentage.

  4. Verify your change:

    cm-hostname (config) # show cmc mvx status cluster-sizing config
  5. Save your change:

    cm-hostname (config) # write memory
To change the critical level:
  1. Log in to the Central Management CLI.

  2. Go to CLI configuration mode:

    cm-hostname > enable
    cm-hostname # configure terminal
  3. Specify the percentage:

    cm-hostname (config) # cmc mvx status cluster-sizing threshold critical <percentage>

    where percentage can be a value from 20–100 and must be a greater than the "warning" value.

  4. Verify your change:

    cm-hostname (config) # show cmc mvx status cluster-sizing config
  5. Save your change:

    cm-hostname (config) # write memory

Example

The following example changes the warning level to 75% of total capacity.

cm-1 (config) # cmc mvx status cluster-sizing threshold warning 75
cm-1 # show cmc mvx status cluster-sizing config

MVX Cluster Sizing Configurations:
Enabled                           : yes
Utilization Warning Threshold     : 75%
Utilization Critical Threshold    : 95%
