IBM Spectrum Scale monitoring considerations

Consider the following information for IBM Spectrum Scale when using IBM Storage Enabler for Containers:

If an IBM Spectrum Scale file system that is being used by Kubernetes or ICP get unmounted, or if there is an issue with the IBM Spectrum Scale file system mounted on a particular node, then the applications in the containers that are using the PVC from IBM Spectrum Scale throw an I/O error.

IBM Storage Enabler for Containers does not monitor IBM Spectrum Scale, and is unaware of any failure in the I/O path. Kubernetes also does not monitor IBM Spectrum Scale, and is unaware of any failure in the I/O path. It is recommended that users directly monitor IBM Spectrum Scale for any IBM Spectrum Scale specific issues, since such monitoring is not done by Kubernetes, ICP or IBM Storage Enabler for Containers.
