Top Disk Storage View

The Top Disk Storage view shows the highest amount of disk storage space in use by server partitions. The 10 server partitions with the highest average amount of space in use during a selected timeframe are shown by default.

This view is useful to help you track storage availability and usage levels on critical servers. Disk storage space is only one factor among many that affect server performance. For example, the server also needs high-performing CPUs, adequate memory, and disk drives with adequate speed.

In addition to storage space usage, the Top Disk Storage view provides information to identify each partition and its capacity. By default, it includes the following information:

Device Name

Identifies the server that was the source of the performance data. If an administrator defined an alias for the device item, the alias is displayed. Otherwise, the discovered device name is displayed.

Description

Identifies the drive and label and may include other vendor-specific information, such as serial number.

Name

Identifies the disk partition whose utilization is reported.

Average Used
