This test auto-discovers the disk partitions supported by the service console, and reports the space usage of each partition; this way, space-hungry partitions can be isolated.

The default parameters associated with this test are as follows:

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

• In the HOST text box, the host name of the server for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

• Provide the name of a valid user in the CONSOLE USER text box to which the ESX server being monitored. 

• Specify the password of the CONSOLE USER in the CONSOLE PASSWORD textbox . 

• Confirm the CONSOLE PASSWORD by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box .  

• If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the Update button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of "none" in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
