Set Monitoring/Expansion Policy for All File Systems. Use this menu option to configure the
monitoring and expansion policy for all file systems. You are prompted for the Warning Threshold
for space usage, the Grow Threshold for space usage, and the Amount as a percentage or a value in
megabytes by which to grow the file system. These three policy values are then used for all file
systems unless a per file system policy is set.
Set Monitoring/Expansion Policy Per File System. Use this menu option to configure the
monitoring and expansion policy for a particular file system. After displaying the current policy per
file system, you are asked if you want to change the policies and are then prompted for the new
values for the Warning Threshold for space usage, the Grow Threshold for space usage, and the
Amount as a percentage or a value in megabytes by which to grow the file system. If you want to
disable monitoring of a particular file system, set the Grow Threshold and the amount to Grow By
values to zero. By default, the expansion of file systems is disabled and must be enabled by the
user.
