Capacity Warning Email Alert Report

As with most devices that have hard drives, there are limits on the percentage of space that the device may use. For a complete list of Unitrends systems, their raw usable capacity and their maximum recommended backup capacity, see the Appliance Family Data Sheet.

In order to provide enhanced system capacity management, your system is designed to examine the amount of disk space used daily. If the system determines that it is approaching, or has exceeded, its maximum recommended backup capacity, the system does the following:

     Automatically suspends deduplication.

     Makes the Data Reduction Report unavailable. (If you attempt to access this report you will receive a message that deduplication is supported but currently disabled).

     Provides an alert.

These messages pro-actively inform you of your system capacity and report your Raw Usable Capacity and the current amount of space used (which is also the Total Used amount at the bottom of your Capacity Report).

The email is sent every day, as long as the capacity condition exists. The alert is updated with any change in the value of critical data.

After your system detects that the capacity issue no longer exists and the current amount of space used is less than the maximum recommended backup, the following actions occur:

     The alert is closed.

     Another alert is created and displayed stating that deduplication has been re-enabled.

     The Data Reduction Report is re-enabled.

     You stop receiving daily capacity warning email alerts.
