Working with SIMs

About SIMs

Thin Provisioning and Smart Tiers provide Service Information Messages (SIMs) to report the status
of the THP V-VOLs and pools. The SIM level is Moderate. If an event associated with a pool occurs,
a SIM is output to Remote Web Console to alert the user, and an SNMP trap is reported to the
open-systems host.

An example of a SIM condition is if the actual pool usage rate is 50.1%, but only 50% appears
on in Remote Web Console because the capacity amount is truncated after the decimal point. If
the threshold is set to 50%, a SIM and an SNMP trap are reported, even though the pool usage
rate appearing in Remote Web Console does not indicate the threshold is exceeded.
