size hits the threshold. To set a threshold value for a storage pool, follow these steps:
1. Go to "Storage Manager" > "STORAGE" > "Storage Space".
2. Double click a storage pool to set a threshold to bring up the Storage Pool
Management page.
3. Click "Actions" > "Set Threshold".

Setting Snapshot Reservation
You can set snapshot reservation space to ensure enough space for saving snapshots.
Snapshot reservation is set as a percentage of total storage pool space and there are
two scenarios:
When the snapshot reserve is set to 0%, new snapshots taken will all be saved to a
storage pool until that storage pool runs out of its space. When that happens, the
system will start recycling older snapshots regardless the snapshot limitation set in
Snapshot Global Settings .
