ALR0558W The CPU Utilization Percentage of node node name in storage system storage system name was measured to be measured value%, which violated the warning-idle boundary value of boundary value%.
Explanation
CPU Utilization Percentage measures the approximate utilization percentage of the CPUs of the nodes in the monitored storage systems. A threshold was defined on this metric, which causes the measured value to be compared to the defined boundaries for each set of performance statistics collected from the storage system.
This message indicates that a threshold boundary violation occurred. In this case, the specified node in the storage system has a CPU Utilization Percentage value that is less than or equal to the warning-idle boundary, but greater than the critical-idle boundary that was defined for the related threshold.
Action
The threshold violation might indicate an unexpected drop in the workload for this node. This can happen if the application(s) using the node stopped working properly.
This type of threshold boundary should only be defined if the workload for the nodes in a storage system are guaranteed to always remain at a certain minimum level. Otherwise IBM Spectrum Control might recognize many violations, even though there is really no underlying problem with the applications. In these situations, consider decreasing the boundary value in the threshold definition, or disabling the boundary check by leaving the boundary value blank.
