Storage Capacity Runout change in behaviour

We encountered an instance where the usage of a SAN dramatically changed and it filled up in very quickly and caught people off guard.

So I have created various views, Usage Freespace % graphs and the Storage Capacity report.

Alas it appears I can not turn the runout time in to a graph I had hoped to be able to do that and use that as a basis for an alert as alerts on a SAN hitting x capacity is one thing but what the business has asked is whether it is possible to alert on a dramatic change in behaviour to the expected runout date to give an immediate alert. Ie a change of gradient as it were and a heads up. A sustained drop in freespace % over time would be the same thing I guess.

I see SRM.StorageArrays contains the following fields:CapacityRunoutSlope, CapacityRunoutOffset,CapacityRunout and CapacityRunoutDate but it seems to be a current value only, not historic records.

Has anyone thought of this before and any advice?

Thanks in advance

  • Hello,

    This is a great idea for a feature in SRM. Sadly SRM does not keep historic data for capacity runout fields.

    By default, the runout calculation is run once per 7 days. This is configurable through the Orion Advanced configuration page.
