Capacity monitoring is a feature that monitors the capacity of Storage Foundation for Windows dynamic volumes and Microsoft Disk Management dynamic volumes so that when the used disk space on a volume reaches a user-specified threshold, an email alert message is sent.
You can also use SFW's Rule Manager event notification function to set up an email message that is sent when thresholds are reached and logged.
Capacity monitoring is set at the individual volume level and is turned off by default. You need to enable it for each volume you want to monitor.
The capacity monitoring settings you establish only affect existing volumes. New volumes that are added to a server after any capacity monitoring settings are made have the default capacity monitoring settings applied to them. If the default is not appropriate, you must change the settings for any new volumes that are added.
Capacity monitoring is also available in the CLI with vxvol capacitymonitor.
