  • ONTAP 9
  • SNMP Traps

Answer

  • EMS shows monitor.volume.full as volume uses or reserves 98% of space.
[Hostname: wafl_spcd_main: monitor.volume.full:debug]: Volume vol1@vserver:92ba4446-f4ac-11e9-872e-00a098f9bb53 is full (using or reserving 98% of space and 28% of inodes).
 
Refer TR-4220. ONTAP has an SNMP trap event monitor.volume.full to the trap host. The following EMS message is generated:
monitor.volume.full 
  • However, if the volume used space is consistently more than 98%, the same monitor.volume.full cannot be generated, so ONTAP cannot have the same SNMP trap event monitor.volume.full to the trap host.
  • As the volume used space decreases to less than 98%, then increases to 98%, EMS shows monitor.volume.full. As the volume is using or reserving 98% of space again, the ONTAP has an SNMP trap event monitor.volume.full to the trap host again.
