Explanation: The maximum number of snapshots allowed per MTree is 750. Warnings are sent when
the number of snapshots per MTree reaches 90% of the maximum allowed number (from 675 to 749
snapshots), and an alert is generated when the maximum number is reached. To clear the warning,
expire snapshots and then run the file system cleaning operation.
Note: To identify an MTree that is nearing the maximum number of snapshots, check the Snapshots
panel of the MTree page regarding viewing MTree snapshot information.
