620xxx*

(Moderate)

Dynamic Provisioning pool usage level (Used (1%)) exceeded the Warning Threshold

1% to 100% (in 1% increments)

Default: 70%

Yes

No

Solutions

  • Add some pool-VOLs to the pool.
  • Reclaim zero pages to release pages in which zero data are stored.

622xxx

(Moderate)

Dynamic Provisioning pool is full

100%

Yes

No

Solutions

  • Add some pool-VOLs to the pool.
  • Reclaim zero pages to release pages in which zero data are stored.
  • Remove all unnecessary Thin Image pairs that are associated with the primary volume.

The Protect attribute of Data Retention Utility might have been set to the DP-VOLs. After performing above solutions, release the Protect attribute of the DP-VOLs.

623xxx

(Moderate)

Error occurred in the Dynamic Provisioning pool

Not applicable

Yes

Yes

Contact customer support.

624000

(Moderate)

No space in the shared memory

Not applicable

Yes

Yes

Solutions

  • Remove pools that are not used.
  • Remove DP-VOLs that are not used.
  • Remove all unnecessary Thin Image pairs that are associated with the primary volume.
  • Shrink the pool capacities.

625000

(Moderate)

Dynamic Provisioning pool usage level (Used (1%)) continues to exceed the highest pool threshold. SOM 734 must be enabled.

Highest pool threshold of Dynamic Provisioning

Yes

No

Solutions

  • Add some pool-VOLs to the pool.
  • Reclaim zero pages to release pages in which zero data are stored.
  • Remove all unnecessary Thin Image pairs that are associated with the primary volume.

626xxx

(Moderate)

Dynamic Provisioning Pool usage level (Used (1%)) exceeded the Depletion Threshold

1% to 100% (in 1% increments)

Default: 80%

Yes

No

Solutions

  • Add some pool-VOLs to the pool.
  • Reclaim zero pages to release pages in which zero data are stored.
  • Remove all unnecessary Thin Image pairs that are associated with the primary volume.

627xxx

(Moderate)

Pool-VOL is blocked

Not applicable

Yes

Yes

Contact customer support.

628000

(Service)

Protect attribute of Data Retention Utility is set

Not applicable

Yes

Yes

Solutions

  • Add pool-VOLs to the pool to increase the free space in the pool.
  • Reclaim zero pages to release pages in which zero data are stored.
  • Contact customer support to restore the pool-VOL.
  • If the blocked pool-VOL is an external volume, verify the status of the path blockade and the external storage system.

After performing the above solutions, release the Protect attribute (Data Retention Utility) of the DP-VOL.

629xxx

(Moderate)

In the Dynamic Provisioning pool, the used capacity reserved for writing exceeded the Warning Threshold.

This SIM is reported if the Dynamic Provisioning pool contains one or more LDEVs in the parity group with accelerated compression enabled.

1% to 100% (in 1% increments)

Default: 70%

Yes

No

Estimate the FMC capacity to be added, and then add the FMC capacity.

62Axxx

(Moderate)

In the Dynamic Provisioning pool, the capacity reserved for writing is full.

This SIM is reported if the Dynamic Provisioning pool contains one or more LDEVs in the parity group with accelerated compression enabled.

100%

Yes

No

Estimate the FMC capacity to be added, and then add the FMC capacity.

62B000

(Moderate)

In theDynamic Provisioning pool, the used capacity reserved for writing continues to exceed the highest pool threshold. SOM 734 must be enabled.

This SIM is reported if the Dynamic Provisioning pool contains one or more LDEVs in the parity group with accelerated compression enabled.

Highest pool threshold of Dynamic Provisioning

Yes

No

Estimate the FMC capacity to be added, and then add the FMC capacity.

62Cxxx

(Moderate)

In the Dynamic Provisioning pool, the used capacity reserved for writing exceeded the Depletion Threshold.

This SIM is reported if the Dynamic Provisioning pool contains one or more LDEVs in the parity group with accelerated compression enabled.

1% to 100% (in 1% increments)

Default: 80%

Yes

No

Estimate the FMC capacity to be added, and then add the FMC capacity.

62Dxxx

(Moderate)

In the Dynamic Provisioning pool, the used capacity reserved for writing exceeded the Prefixed Depletion Threshold.

This SIM is reported if the Dynamic Provisioning pool contains one or more LDEVs in the parity group with accelerated compression enabled.

90%

Yes

No

Estimate the FMC capacity to be added, and then add the FMC capacity.

62Exxx

Dynamic Provisioning pool usage level exceeded the depletion threshold. This SIM is output when the pool option "Suspend TI pairs when depletion threshold is exceeded" is enabled.

Depletion threshold

Yes

No

Solution: Resolve the cause of SIM 626xxx (depletion threshold exceeded), and then delete snapshot data and create the pair again for the Thin Image pair whose pair status is PSUE.

641xxx

(Service)

In the Dynamic Tiering pool, the tier relocation operation is suspended by the system. This SIM can be displayed if "Notify an alert when tier relocation is suspended by system" is enabled on the "Edit Advanced System Settings" window.

Not applicable

Yes

Yes

Determine why the tier relocation was suspended.
