StorageGRID Webscale VMFR alarms are still observed after adding new storage node capacity
Applies to
StorageGRID Webscale
Issue
The VMFR (Space Available) alarm for the storage node's object stores keeps triggering alarms. The object stores are slowly consuming available space as the customer continues to store objects to the GRID. As that space is depleted, the alarm is triggered. Recommendations were to add additional storage nodes to obtain additional storage space. However, once the new nodes are added, the VMFR alarm continues to be observed.
