Cause

This occurs when a Centera is used as backend storage for the Vault Store and 10 Consecutive Clips have not been replicated.  Below is a sample from a Dtrace of the StorageFileWatch process:

When it reaches this threshold, that particular thread will stop and the process will move on.

Resolution

The event is simply informational and typically there is no issue with the process unless there are other warnings or errors related to the StorageFileWatch process.  

To confirm replication delays, the storage team managing the Centera can provide additional information.
