Cluster Service Monitoring - Is There An Alert When a Volume is Available?

Question

We've seen some alerts that show a shared volume is no longer available. They look something like this
 Alert: Shared Volume IO is paused
Source: Cluster Service
Path: Host.domain.com

the volume is reestablished.
We're wondering if there is a way to generate an alert that tells us the volume is available again.

Hi,
Based on my research, this monitor is based on the Cluster Shared Volume related Events:
Event Log Rules
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd491018.aspx
Please also see the Events listed:
Cluster Shared Volume Functionality
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee830309(WS.10).aspx
However, I could not find the Events means the “cluster
shared volume is available again”; therefore, I suspect this cannot be monitored based on Event Log.
In addition, I just noticed the status of a cluster shared volume can be queried by PowerShell script. Hope this can give you some hints:
Get-ClusterSharedVolume
