Note: This article applies to the Storage Platform API and not the RedAPI. You can find our RedAPI documentation here.
Introduction
A mechanism exists that will prevent certain activities on a StorageServer from filling up disk space once a threshold has been reached.
The limit is determined by the StorageVolumeMinFreeSpaceGB setting.
Viewing the setting
The setting StorageVolumeMinFreeSpaceGB can be viewed using the Storage Platform API:
https://<accountserver>/api/system/settings
(A default value of 1GB is used)
Changing the setting
To set a different value (to 5GB for example), also use the API URL:
https://<accountserver>/api/system/settings?StorageVolumeMinFreeSpaceGB=5
Storage Platform tasks affected
Tasks that will be aborted/prevented from running include those that create and update data:
- All backup, including snapshot backup
- Mirror receive
- Move receive
- Roll-up
- HSM
