A question about Logical Disk Performace collection Rules and how the Data is displayed in a Report view

Hello
I am currently on SCOM 2007 R2 CU6 and Window Server Operating System MP version 6.0.6989.0 (I cannot use the latest version of the MP as we still have some Windows 2000 Servers we need to support, yes I know :( )
Any way the issue is, I have never found the Logical Disk performance counter data very reliable from SCOM.
For example, I have a Windows 2008 R2 Server and when looking at a local Logical Disk (which holds an SQL temp DB on a busy SQL Server) and look at the performance counter
The SCOM collection rule is called "Collection Rule for Average Disk Seconds per Transfer"
The actual Windows Perfmon counter is called "Avg. Disk Bytes/Transfer"
if you look at the description of the above Perfmon counter it is described as 
"Avg. Disk Bytes/Transfer is the average number of bytes transferred to or from the disk during write or read operations."
The problem I have is as follows:
The resulting SCOM performance chart over several days (which has a scale ox 1x) states the value never reach 3 (e.g. maximum wa s 2.7 say). I cannot believe the a drive holding the tempDB databases for a busy SQL Server does not transfer more then 2.7 "bytes"
of data at a given to to its tempDB databases!
Indeed when I look at Permon on the Server and looks at this counter over say 20 minutes or so, the figure is often in the 10,000 or 30,000 bytes etc. It does fall back to 0 (zero) momentarily but mostly it is in the 1000s, or 10,000s etc.
Therefore when my boss says show me the "Avg. Disk Bytes/Transfer" and SCOM says it has not exceeded 2.7 over the last business week (i.e. the chart never peak above this value on the chart with scale 1x) he naturally does not believe it!!
Any advice please regarding the above. Is it the fact if the counter ever falls to zero it messes up the SCOM report charts?
Thanks

Create your own collection rule, to mirror the sample times, and what not.  Look at the data from your rule vs the mp default rule.  It probably has to do with the chart scale imho.

    If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address set up then go to Express Lane  and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
    Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
    Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Questions' or 'iTunes Store account security' (it appears to vary by country) and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
    You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox)

  • Okay i just recently asked a question.about my factory unlocked iphone 3gs asking how to activate it but..

    i probably shouldnt say this but,okay i just recently asked a question.about my factory unlocked iphone 3gs asking how to activate it. so i got too excited of aving it and couldnt wait for my tmobile sim card to come  one more day. so i "hactivated" it (i know this voids all warrenty) and i jailbroke it just so i could use it as an ipod.it worked and i was syched.
    BUTTT.... it asked me if i wanted to update the software to 5.1 and i was like " oh yes id love to" and it started downloading it and it was inrecovery mode the whole time .
    when the download finished. i hit restore so i can put the software on the phone but the itunes had an error and the phone went glitchy and it does a rebooting loop. it shows the apple symbol with the slash through it for about 5 seconds and shuts off for a little bit (about another 5 seconds) and it starts up  then loops the process. ive managed to turn the phone off but if i start  it up it loops...what should i do? any help :/
    Also it does not show up in my itunes because it is turning off to fast to detect.

    Discussion of hacked phones is prohibited on these forums.  Sorry, you'll need to go elsewhere to get support for a j'broke iPhone.

    i cant remember the answers to my security questions.  i have reset my password and added the recovery email account but still cant figure out how to purchase new content. it asks me the same security questions. i also have a temp pin. how do i fix this?

    If you've just added an address to your account then it will be an alternate/secondary email address, a rescue email address can only be added by answering 2 of your security questions. If you already had one on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email addressthen you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

  • When I check my boot SSD drive using Disk Utility under Mavericks, I often get "Incorrect number of extended attributes" errors.  But if I boot off an external drive and check the same SSD, no errors are reported.  Is this a bug in Mavericks?

    When I check my boot SSD drive using Disk Utility under Mavericks, I often get "Incorrect number of extended attributes" errors.  But if I boot off an external drive and check the same SSD, no errors are reported. 
    This happens not just with the SSD in my Mac Mini, but with another SSD in my MacBook (both now running Mavericks).  So far as I know, all of the kit I am using is in good order (despite the file corruption reports).  So I am beginning to wonder if it could be due to a bug in Mavericks?  Both SSD drives have been formatted to MacOS Extended (journaled) format.  Should I have used a different format, I wonder?
    Has anyone else encountered this issue?
    Does anyone have a solution?
    Or an explanation that might help my investigation of the issue?
    Thanks guys,

    I understand that the Corsair Force 3 is not one of the SSD drives that are supported on Apple Macs. 
    I did try downloading and using Trim Enabler, but the error message came up both when it was off and when it was on.
    I understand that not everyone thinks Trim Enabler is a good program, though there is a new version out now, so I may give it another try.

  • ABAP code in update rules to convert the date

    Hi,
    Could any one send me the ABAP code that is written in the update rules to convert the date (DD/MM/YYYY  -- lenght 10) to YYYYMMDD ---  length 8  format.
    Also please let me know where I should write this code; while creating update rules or while creating infosource.
    Thanks,

    Hi Bharath,
    Hi Bharath,
    I suggest you do the conversion of dates in the transfer rules. Here is the correct code you need:
    * Assuming the source data field is called MYDATE
    * Place the ff. in the routine in the transfer rules:
    concatenate tran_structure-mydate+6(4) tran_structure-mydate+3(2) tran_structure-mydate(2) into result.
    replace MYDATE with the name of the source field (10 chars) in the transfer structure. Hope this helps.

    Are there apps you don't need or use? Delete them.
    Is there content you've downloaded from iTunes that you can delete (as long as it's available in iTUnes, you can redownload any previously purchased content)
    Do you have any large e-mails in your mailbox? Such as mails with photos.
    Do you have photos that you don't want or need anymore?
    Settings, general, usage can tell you how much space apps are taking up and that can help you choose what needs to go, what's part of the problem, etc.

  • I created a new collection and put all of my same photos in them as a previous collection, then I changed them to black and white and both collections changed. How do I keep the first collection colour and make the second collection black and white.

    I created a new collection and put all of my same photos in them as a previous collection, then I changed them to black and white and both collections changed. How do I keep the first collection colour and make the second collection black and white.

    For the second collection, choose the option to make virtual copies. Then you can turn the virtual copies to black & white, leaving the first collection in color. If you want file copies of the B & W images you can export copies.

  • Every once in a while, letters stop working on my keyboard. I have to restart to get them to work again. Happens about once a week. Why and how do I keep this from Happening?

    Every once in a while, letters stop working on my keyboard. I have to restart to get them to work again. Happens about once a week. Why and how do I keep this from Happening? An example is: I try to type Super Excited and the U, E and P won't work. But once I restart, all the letters work.

    It could be an accumulation of all sorts of bits of info and depending on the last time you cleared the system cache either manually or via a factory reset on that phone you might find a difference there after doing so with many other system caches.
    Clearing the application cache removes temporary files and frees up memory - your personal settings or information remain intact.
    Be sure you clear only the application cache and not the application data.
    From the home screen, tap Apps.
    Scroll to and tap Settings.
    Tap More.
    Tap Application manager.
    Swipe left to view the All tab.
    Scroll to and tap an application.
    Tap Clear cache.
    You've now cleared the application cache.

    Go to the Project Library View and select your project.
    Then FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT and give the duplicate a name like "your name - part 1".
    Then duplicate it again and give the duplicate a name like "your name - part 2"
    Now you can open "part 1" as a project and delete everything that is in part 2.
    Open "part 2" as a project and delete everything that is in part 1.

    Earlier, I wrote:
    What is the ppi value in the document?  Use the Image - Image Size menu to see or set this value.
    I can't believe this conversation has gone on this long.  You keep wanting it to be a bug, but it seems to me the basic problem here is that you haven't accepted the fact that YOU are responsible for getting the image metadata in order before you can use tools like the Ruler to read out in physical units, such as inches or centimeters, accurately.
    Photoshop can only know the size of things in your document if you or your workflow provide it an accurate ppi value!
    What's the original source of the material?  A scanner?  If so, some part of the scanning or image preparation process has left you with an inaccurate ppi value.
    For the documents you're already working with, use Image - Image Size, then UNcheck the Resample Image checkbox and type in the correct ppi value.  Then everything will work.

    Anytime you change networking hardware, it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of your networking components.
    I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
    While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
    Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.
