  • The error message: Mon Sep 27 15:50:40 +0200 [exonet-netapp-c3-01: wafl_spcd_main:monitor.vol.nearFull.inc.sav:alert]: Volume vol1@vserver:vserver1 (UUID 856709fa-6a1b-11eb-9afb-d039ea140bb7) is nearly full (reserved or using 97%% of space including savings and 0%% of inodes is being returned. 
  • The values for the used volume in Linux and Netapp are different: this difference is equal to the value for total-savings from Storage Efficiency.
Example:
 
The used volume in Linux is 9TB:

10.10.10.10:/vol1  12T     9T      3T      75%     /vol1   
 
Whereas the physical space value is 6TB:

The volume saved through storage efficiency features is equal to 3TB:
