DPM2010: Database size threshold exceeded (3168)

Microsoft.Windows.SystemCenterDPM2010.DatabaseSizeThresholdExceeded (UnitMonitor)

DPM database (DPMDB) size has exceeded the threshold limit.

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

The DPM tape catalog keeps information of the recoverable items on tapes that are protected for short-term and long-term.

This alert is generated in Data Protection Manager (DPM) when the disk space used for the catalog information database on the DPM database exceeds the user-set threshold.

Causes

See the Alert Details pane for more information on the cause of this alert.

Review the alert details in DPM Administrator Console, determine why the tape catalog database threshold has been exceeded, and take the appropriate action.

The alert is raised because the size of the catalog information database on the DPM server may have increased significantly since the protection group was created.

Resolutions

Prune the catalog information database to reduce the size below the threshold value or increase the threshold value.

To increase the threshold value on the DPM server, allocate more disk space for the database. For more information, see “How to Modify Disk Allocation” in DPM Help (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=66728).

If no additional disk space is available, you may need to add a physical disk drive to the DPM server. For more information, see your computer’s operating manual.

When resolved: When additional disk space is allocated for the database, when the library catalog is pruned, or when an additional disk drive is added to the DPM server.
