Measures reported by DiskHMonitorTest

This test reports the number and nature of error events that occurred on the disks of this storage system. This way, administrators can promptly detect disk failures/related performance issues.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Num_messages Indicates the number of events of this type that were captured during the last measurement period. Number The event type may either be predictive failure of the disk or the degraded I/O event of the disk. When such types of events are generated, the Operating system automatically recovers the maximum amount of data from the affected disks and stores in a spare disk.

Ideally, the value of this measure should be zero. A high value is an indication of performance degradation of the disk.

The detailed diagnosis capability, if enabled provides you with a more detailed information about the events that were captured by this measure.
