HWNEP0289E Failed to retrieve container information because the number of containers now exceeds the maximum number of containers that can currently be collected for an account ( MAX Containers ).

Explanation

To prevent probes of GPFS clusters that are configured with object storage from taking an excessive amount of time, the number of containers which can be collected for each account during a probe is limited. This limit can be configured by adjusting the Probe.ObjectContainerMaxPages property.

Action

Use the "tpctool getdscfg" command to retrieve the current value for the Probe.ObjectContainerMaxPages property. Archive or delete any unused containers so that the number of containers for the account no longer exceeds the time limit. Try the operation again.

Alternatively, use the "tpctool setdscfg" command to increase the value for the Probe.ObjectContainerMaxPages property. Then, restart the Device server service and try the operation again.
