Measures reported by StorageAdapterTest
The Virtual I/O Server provides virtual storage and shared Ethernet capability to client logical partitions on the system. It is installed in its own logical partition, and allows physical adapters with attached disks on the Virtual I/O Server to be shared by one or more client partitions.
Using this test, you can periodically monitor the I/O activity on each of the physical adapters and attached disks supported by the Virtual I/O server.

The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the physical disks in the volume group. For each physical disk, the detailed diagnosis page displays the amount of data transferred, read, and written to that physical disk, and the rate of data transfers handled by that physical disk. In the event of a high level of I/O activity on the volume group, you can use this information to identify which physical disk in the volume group is experiencing excessive activity.
