To view charts on the Physical Disk Activity page
Right-click the Physical Disk Activity page and select View as Chart.
Notes:
Chart | Description |
---|---|
Disk Reads |
Shows a recent summary of the rate at which read requests have been sent to each physical disk. |
Disk Writes |
Shows a recent summary of the rate at which write requests have been sent to each physical disk. |
Disk I/O |
Shows a recent summary of the rate at which read and write requests have been sent to each physical disk. |
Disk Queue |
The Disk Queue chart shows the number of I/O requests that were queued for each physical disk. Disk queue length indicates how heavily loaded a disk subsystem is. High queue lengths mean the disks are struggling to process the I/O load being put on them. |
Transfer Time |
The Transfer Time chart shows how long it is taking for data to be transferred between disk and memory, and includes both Disk Reads and Disk Writes. If disk transfers are taking consistently longer than 50 ms, a disk bottleneck may be developing. |
Disk Load |
Shows how busy overall the individual physical disks are. |
To view the Physical Disk Activity page as a table
Right-click the Physical Disk Activity page and select View as Grid.
In table (grid) mode, the page displays the information contained in the charts, plus additional information in the following columns:
Column | Description |
---|---|
KBs Read per sec | The rate (in kilobytes/s) at which data is read from the specified physical disk. |
KBs Written per sec | The rate (in kilobytes/s) at which data is written to the specified physical disk. |
