Hi Fellow IPO-admins,

What does this alarm tell me? Where to look for this?

Never seen this one before but reading the message suggests that the system is getting overloaded somewhere

Is there plenty of free space on the Hard disk?
Is there excessive traffic hitting the network interface (either misconfigured network or worse some sort on malware activity)

NIC/HD I/O" = "Network Interface Card/Hard Disk Input/Output"

Either your network card or your hard disk has been asked to handle more traffic than it can cope with. If this is a virtualized server them the VMware tools may provide some more clues and allow you to add additional resources

Stuck in a never ending cycle of file copying.
 
After a reboot of the server last night, the "alarm" is now in a Normal-state.
HDD usage on 66% (100GB space).
The IP Office SE is running on a VMware environment.

What is the best way of looking into if some excessive traffic is actually hitting the NIC?
I don't see this in the System Status nor any in the Syslog Event Viewer on WebManager Platform-site.
 
The network emulation in VMware is of E1000. I know that this is a rather old emulation method...
Do You know if this is possible to change, og should be?

Will the server loose its MAC-addr. and then we will have licens issues?
 
It's not the network traffic hitting the IPO but all VMs on the same NIC.
If you have long queues on the network interface or to access storage the IPO will give a warning.

I have seen this where there was made a snapshot of the server (only do this when turned off) to upgrade the system.
When the upgrade went well then the snapshot needs to be removed as it uses also resources so it needs to share it.
So if there was made a snapshot then remove it!


BAZINGA!

I'm not insane, my mother had me tested!
 
You get this error when there not enough IOPS.
You can get this message when you do a backup of the voicemail.
(Voicemail Pro Client - F9 - Backup/Restore)
When uploading a new version before an upgrade.
Taking a snap shot of the SE.

You need to take a look at your VM environment.
What's happening on that environment when you receive this error?
 
Received NIC/HD I/O utilization near capacity error overnight with Dell server Primary SE. Completed upgrade to all 5 nodes early evening to R11.
Wondering if due to heavy activity during upgrade.

If vegetarians love animals so much, why are they eating all of their food?
 
Thank you for all the answers.
I will go to my customer and tell them to check the VMware invironment.
 
It's definitely the vmware environment. I just went through a new install with a customer who had the same thing constantly. Took them over a month to resolve, just two days before our scheduled cutover date.
 
I see the same all night at the time when the system is backed up via SFTP.
The backup which is done from WebManager.
