Disks - Percentage Used Alarm / Free Space Alarm

This shows that the logical disk is filling up or is full.

To rectify this:

• Inform users of the disk volume to clean up space by deleting or moving files no longer required.
• Delete files that are no longer required from the volume.
• Move files to a volume with spare space.
• Purchase more disk capacity for the system, and move data onto it.

It is recommended that a backup of the system is taken before any files are moved or deleted.

Tip: You can configure this alarm to ignore certain values. See "Configure an Alarm to Ignore Certain Values" (page 1) for more information.

Note: This problem can be raised by the Disks - Percentage Used alarm where thresholds are set on the percentage of disk space used, or the Disks - Free Space alarm where thresholds are set on available megabytes free. By default the Disks - Percentage Used alarm is enabled and the Disks - Free Space alarm is disabled.
