Oracle Database "Node is Critical. Volume 'Physical memory' has state: Critical."

Even though the server is using under 40% of the total, some of my nodes say this and are "red". I saw another with the same issue but the resolution wasn't acceptable (changing rollup status from "mixed" to "best").

The server has plenty of memory, why is it critical?

It's saying it's using:

37% (47.4 GB of 128.0 GB)

Please advise.

@michaeltking79, that is referring to a Volume called Physical Memory. If you don't want the memory to report in the context of a volume then you need to delete the Physical/Virtual Memory that's likely being monitored from that server, to avoid a bug while doing it be sure to unmanage the volume prior to deleting the volume, this will avoid a bug where the status retains a deleted volumes status. If you look and see that the volume is already removed but it's still reporting on it, then you are experiencing a known bug, in that case, unmanage and then remanage the node to force a status recalculation.

Christopher,

I understand what it is, I need it not to report a 37% full volume as critical.

Did someone change the threshold on that node?

It's a new out of the box install, not sure why it's doing what it's doing. This is my second deployment, it didn't happen like this on the 1st. I have SAM in this deployment though.
