IT48478: DATA COLLECTION TASK IS EXPIRING FOR FILE STORAGE SYSTEMS MANAGING LARGE DATA CAPACITY (900+ TB)

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Data collection task is expiring for File Storage Systems
  managing large data capacity around (900 TB) is failing due
  to command execution delays.
  
  The command: /usr/lpp/mmfs/bin/mmlssnapshot filenet -dY
  is taking more than 24 hours to return the required data,
  which prevents the probe from completing successfully.
  
  As a result, data collection for these large file storage
  devices does not complete in a timely manner. The data
  collection duration overlaps the start of the next probe,
  which impacts monitoring and reporting accuracy within
  IBM Storage Insights.
