Host Physical Disk Status (PI_HPDI)

Organization of this page

Function

This record stores performance data on a physical disk of a physical server over a unit of time. This record is a multi-instance record.

In this record, you can collect performance data such as data read/write speed on a physical disk of a physical server. For the data read/write speed, you can collect further details, that is, data read speed and data write speed. The figure below shows an example of data that can be collected into this record.

#1

The value used in [[Figure]hh:mm] varies depending on the time zone of the monitored host. For example, if the monitored virtual environment is operating according to JST, +09:00 is displayed. If the monitored virtual environment is operating according to UTC, Z is displayed.

#2

For Hyper-V only, this field requires performance data to be collected at least twice.
