Physical Disk attributes

Use Physical Disk attributes to create situations that monitor information about fixed and hard disk drives. Physical disk is a multiple-instance attribute group. You cannot mix these attributes with those of any other multiple-instance attribute group.

% Disk Idle Time The percentage of elapsed time that the selected disk drive is not servicing any read or write requests. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 100 (expressing a percentage).

% Disk Read Time The percentage of elapsed time a disk drive been busy servicing read requests. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 100 (expressing a percentage) and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions.

% Disk Time The percentage of elapsed time a disk drive has been busy servicing read or write requests. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 100 (expressing a percentage) and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions.

In workspace queries, this attribute should be set equal to the value $NODE$ in order to populate the workspace with data. This attribute is generally not included in situations, unless there is a need to customize the situation for a specific managed system.

Timestamp The date and time the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server samples the data.
