Modify Reserved Pool Space

Deletes the oldest snapshot first
Continues to delete up to 12 snapshots at every 10-second interval until
free pool space is above the threshold
Reserves 30 percent of the total pool for snapshot use and restricts
online volume growth from causing a pool-full condition by not
allowing a volume to grow into this reserved space
Deletes a snapshot, even if it is the only snapshot in existence
SWVR Lifeguard posts events in the Application Event Log and can be
viewed using the Event Viewer. An event is entered for each drive that
exceeds the threshold, and additional events will be entered when a snapshot is
deleted.
NOTE: These default settings are different from those stated in the SWVR documentation
included on the TaskSmart N2400 Documentation CD.
Although it is not recommended, you can change the percentage of free pool
space that is reserved for snapshots. If you are not using or planning to use
snapshots, removing this reserved space should not cause a problem.
CAUTION: It is possible for data corruption to occur if the percentage of free
pool space is removed and snapshots are used later without adding back the
30 percent reserved space. There is a default minimum of 1,056 MB of free
space. It is not possible to set the reserved space less than this without
activating Lifeguard service.
Increasing the percentage of free pool space poses no problem other than
reserving a larger percentage of your pool.
To modify the percentage of free pool space:
1. Click Command Prompt on the TaskSmart N2400 console menu.
