shm.threshold.spareBlocksConsumedMax
Description
This warning message occurs when a specified number of solid state drives have consumed
at least 80 percent of their use-based internal spare capacity. The affected drives are also
identified.
Corrective action
Ensure that replacement drives are available, but do not initiate drive replacement. The
drives will be failed by Data ONTAP if appropriate.
Monitoring the IOMs
You can monitor the health of your I/O modules (IOMs) by familiarizing yourself with the
location of the LEDs on the modules, their meanings, and the error messages that can occur when
there is a problem.
Location of the IOM LEDs
The LEDs on the I/O Module (IOM) indicate whether the IOM is functioning normally, whether it
is ready for I/O traffic, and whether there are any problems with the hardware.
The following illustration shows the front of the IOM and the location of the LEDs:
Note: Although IOM6 appears on the IOM in the illustration, the LED locations are the same
for IOM3.

What the IOM LEDs mean
You can determine the status of the I/O modules (IOMs) by understanding the meaning of the
IOM LEDs when they are illuminated.
At power up, the fault LED on the IOM illuminates by default. After a good operating condition is
established, the fault LED turns off and the LNK LED illuminates.
The following table describes the LED behavior when the disk shelf is not in H0 shelf mode. The
How the H0 shelf mode and LEDs work section has information about H0 shelf mode.
