Unfortunately, no-one thought SNM could do it, so I send a mail to

our own (CVSI) support department, they forwarded the call to Sun and....

I got THE answer. It IS possible!! Sun came through!.

The agent na.diskinfo supports the following options:

nonfs

nocdrom

nofloppy

I can NOT find them anywhere in the docs, but they work!!

So you change the "send predefined --> event request --> When Disk is Full":

and add the options

nonfs:nocdrom:nofloppy (you must specify the : in case of several options)

to the "Options:" field

et voila, No more nfs, no more cdrom and no more floppy !!!
