SRM Network Attached Storage Agent
An Advisory is a brief text message describing an actual or potential problem detected by SRM and the suggested corrective action. Advisories can be warnings, such as a file system reaching full capacity, or recommendations, such as a configuration change that might improve performance. SRM includes a set of predefined heuristics for each application or resource type that can be applied during data collection to generate Advisories. Once posted, Advisories may be viewed, hidden, or cleared; also, for each predefined Advisory type, you may choose to display or hide Advisories of that type based on your Advisory Type Management settings. In the interest of better performance, not all Advisories are enabled by default.
For a step-by-step instructions, see Enable/Disable Advisories.
