LPARPhysicalDiskDetails topology object

Extra properties related to the physical disk if the Host is LPAR.

LogicalDisk topology object

A Windows® partition or UNIX® filesystem. Multiple LogicalDisk instances are automatically aggregated by the server into a HostStorage object, of which there is one per Host. A LogicalDisk instance is identified by its name (for example, hda1) and a reference to the Host object in which it resides.

 

IMPORTANT: When monitoring the Oracle Solaris® ZFS® file systems, it is expected that: • The capacityUsed, capacityAvailable, spaceUsed, and spaceAvailable metrics do not match with the data shown by running the following command: df -h • The sum of capacityUsed and capacityAvailable is not equal to 100%. For more information, see the Knowledge Base article https://support.quest.com/kb/206363.

MSCluster topology object

An object that represents a node in a Microsoft® Windows® cluster. Typically these will share names with actively monitored hosts. The WindowsAgent’s cluster data collection must be enabled for these to be created. The MSClusterNode is placed under a Host’s details, and it references the MSCluster object for the cluster of which it is a part.

desc	A brief description of the cluster, offered by the user.	Windows®
maxNumberOfNodes	The maximum number of nodes supported by the cluster.	Windows
name	A string offering the name of the cluster.	Windows
