Cluster Disk Logical Disk Performance Counters Problem

I have some problem with Oracle cluster. It's a two node Windows server 2008 R2 SP1 cluster with MS Failover cluster. I have SCOM 2012 SP1 with latest OS MP (agent running with local system rights). All other cluster are showing fine performance counters
but this cluster does only show one cluster disk free space counters. It has 5 cluster disks (MBR formatted). Logical disk performance counters are running fine. So my questions:
What performance counters does the new "Cluster Disk % and MB free space rule" use? Is it the same old Logical Disk performance counter that collects data for example for drive C:?
What should I check from this cluster because performance view from my cluster groups are not showing all disks, just one and there are 5 cluster disks?
Only one Cluster Disk is showing under performance view!
Health Explorer from Cluster group shows all Cluster disks!

We have this issue with normal Win server 2008 SQL servers. I can see disks at the Health Explorer view but no collection rules at the performance view. Rule does not have any overrides and it's enabled by default. We use the latest Core OS pack and Cluster
MP. IS this ANOTHER bug in the MS management pack?

  • Logical Disk (Mount Point) Performance Counters

    We're currently running SCOM 2012 SP1, Management Servers and Agents are all at UR8
    The Windows Server Operating system management pack is at 6.0.7292.0
    We're successfully collecting performance metrics which are not mount points but the performance metrics for mount points are missing. We've enabled the discovery for mount points.
    The error that I'm seeing on the agent machines is:
    In PerfDataSource, could not resolve counter instance LogicalDisk, Avg. Disk Write Queue Length, G:\Archive\. Module will not be unloaded.
    One or more workflows were affected by this. 
    Workflow name: Microsoft.Windows.Server.2008.LogicalDisk.AverageDiskWriteQueueLength.Collection
    Instance name: G:\Archive\
    Instance ID: {EE651C3D-A5B8-E5C2-459E-8B6C27F8B813}
    We used to be able to collect this performance data but now it's failing. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

    Hi!
    There was a new MP version fixing Mount Point monitoring online earlier this year but it has been pulled since there where some bugs.
    Expect the new version available within the next couple of weeks. I assume your issue will be fixed there.

  • False Alerts from Cluster Server Logical Disk Monitor

    Hi All,
    I have a cluster server & on one of its server there are 10 cluster disk.
    Today from no where since last 5 hours I have been getting critical alerts for Cluster Disk - Free Space Monitor (MB) with every poll, when the threshold is well above the defined in this monitor.
    After few mins when this critical alert gets resolved, I get a warning alert from Cluster Disk - Free Space Monitor (%). In this case also the threshold is well above.
    Also, this issue with just this disk & all other disks perfectly fine. Kindly help.

    I'm not sure which version of MP you have but the following link may help which have a bug fix for same:

  • How to enable Logical Disk Free Space

    Hi 
    I have installed SCOM 2012R2 and configured monitoring for Windows 2012 R2 HyperV cluster. i think i configured most of the part but i could not able to see my logical disk free space.
    I treid to enable In Monitors --> Windows Server 2012 Logical Disk --> "Logical Disk Free Space" but its grayed out. 
    can anyone tell me how to monitor my Logical Disk Free space and Physical Disk Free Space.
    Here i attached the screenshot of my SCOM - Montiors

    Thanks Gautam,
    even i go through one by Monitors, i don't see any option to enable monitor. looks like its grayed out.

  • "logical disk health" monitor is critical

    Hello
    We have 2 HP-UX servers to monitor and everything is fine until we mount and unmount the servers disks. when we change a disk "Logical
    Disk Health" monitors State goes Critical. unfortunately this change may happen again. I reduced the discovery interval to 5 minutes and no luck. other monitors like "% free space" are healthy. what am i missing?

    I have done this. I've mentioned above the "Logical Disk Health" monitor is in critical state. other
    monitors are healthy.
    Some body told me override the physical disk discoveries interval from 14400 to 600 for test. it didn't
    work. 
    I checked the HP-UX MP user guide, there is no information about logical disk health parameters and dependencies. 
    any idea?

  • Logical Disk Performance counter for cluster shared volume on Hyper-V

    Hello All,
    I am trying to collect counters like latency, queuelength from Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfDisk_LogicalDisk WMI class.
    Output of "Name" attribute for logical disks in this class as below:
    Name: _Total
    Name: C:
    Name: E:
    Name: HarddiskVolume1
    Name: Q:
    Name here doesn't show the actual label so I queried Win32_Volume class and wanted to join with performance WMI class. Out put of Win32_Volume is as below:
    Caption: E:\
    Label: New Volume
    Name: E:\
    Caption: Q:\
    Label: Quorum
    Name: Q:\
    Caption: C:\
    Label: Voume C
    Name: C:\
    Caption: F:\
    Label: SAN
    Name: F:\
    Please note that "Name" attribute matches for all except one with label "SAN". This is cluster shared volume and "Name" attribute value is "HardDiskVolume1" in Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfDisk_LogicalDisk class.
    Is this is a configuration issue or any other alternative to get volume label and corresponding performance counters.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Udupa,
    I haven't found a better way, if you want to combine the two script, please refer to the script below:
    $output=@()
    $volumes = gwmi Win32_Volume
    foreach($volume in $volumes){
    $match=($volume.name).TrimEnd("\")
    $counter=gwmi Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfDisk_LogicalDisk |where{$_.name -eq $match}
    $Object = New-Object PSObject
    $Object | add-member Noteproperty name $volume.name
    $Object | add-member Noteproperty label $volume.label
    $Object | add-member Noteproperty AvgDiskQueueLength $counter.AvgDiskQueueLength
    $output += $Object
    $output
    I hope this helps.

  • Jetstress 2013 found the following faulty logical disk performance counters

    I'm using Jetstress 2013 to test the storage disk subsystem for Exchange 2013. After the db build completed I click run test & got this error. I'm only getting this error on this VM. The other 3 VMs are fine. I also reformatted the disk & rebuild
    the db but got the same error. Anyone seen this before?
    Jetstress testing failed. Error: Jetstress found the following faulty logical disk performance counters: C:\jsdb\db4. Ensure that all logical disk performance counters are working correctly with System Monitor. Error: Instance 'C:\jsdb\db4' does not exist
    in the specified Category.

    As reinstalling the VM is not always possible, and the time to recreate the databases quite considerable, the actual answer to this issue is to find the path that the logical disk counters are using and then update the path to the databases in JetStress
    to match this.
    On your test machine open Performance Monitor and click the Performance Monitor node.
    Click the green + icon and select the "Logical Disk" row.
    In the Instances of selected object you will see the paths that the logical disk counter is using to find the databases. For example C:\ExchangeVolumes\ExVol1 and C:\ExchangeVolumes\ExVol2.
    Update the JetStress config to use these paths and not the paths that you might be using such as C:\ExchangeDatabases\DB01.db.
    The problem is due to the autoreseed scripts in the perf calculator mounting the C:\ExchangeVolume path first (and so that is the logical disk counters path) but the operator of JetStress using the more obvious C:\ExchangeDatabases path.
    There is an update to JetStress post the original date of this question that resolves this issue so you can use either path, but if you add disks to a server or recreate some of the disk arrays and not others you might find that JetStress needs to use C:\ExchangeVolumes\...
    to reach some databases and C:\ExchangeDatabases to reach the others.
    If you get the error in the original post for some of your databases and not all of them, then this is the fix and use Performance Monitor to see the paths needed and use only those in JetStress.

    Hello,
    Sys.dm_os_performance counter will only show counters related to SQL server not Physical disk if you run below query in SQL server it will not return any value so no disk counter is present.You will have to see it using perfmon.
    select * from sys.dm_os_performance_counters where counter_name like '%disk%'
    This can also be done through power shell but I dont have experience with that.You can search net for power shell query to see Windows perfmon counters

  • Default OS performance counters processor, memory, logincal disk are missing in windows 2008 standard server

    I have a windows 2008 standard server in which the default OS performance counters counters processor, memory, logincal disk are missing.
    I tried using exctrlst.exe tool. This tool shows that the respective performance counters are already enabled but when I check in perfmon.msc, these counters are not visible.
    I also tried to rebuild the performance counters from the OS disk. but it did not worked. still the counters are missing.
    Because of these counters are missing, am unable to monitor the utilization of CPU, memory and disks.

  • Logical disk free space counters missing for server 2008 r2 and 2012 r2

    I'm trying to get low disk space alerts for server 2008R2 and 2012 R2.  While the monitors exist for 2008 and 2012 (Not-R2), they are missign for all R2 operating systems.  Any idea how to either obtain these monitors, or create them so I can
    get alerts for % disk free alerts?

    What is your meaning of " monitors exist for 2008 and 2012 (Not-R2), they are missing for all R2 operating systems."? Does it means that the monitor is missing on all Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 2012 R2 machine or it just a blank circle ?
    By default, Windows XXX Logical disk Free Space monitor is enable for all windows XXX. You may check whether an override to disable it. Moreover, Windows Server XXXX Logical Disk Free Space (%) Low and Windows Server 2008 Logical Disk Free Space (MB) Low
    is disable by default and you should manually enable it.

    Hi,
    Please see if following helps
    Disk transfer (reads and writes) latency is too high
    The
    threshold for the Logical Disk\Avg. Disk sec/Transfer performance counter has been exceeded
    If they are of no help, try asking this question in Operations Manager - General forum since alerts are generated by SCOM.

  • 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.

  • What is the difference between Logical Disk and Physical Disk?

    Hi.
    When I do Performance Monitor, I got Logical Disk Avg. Disk sec/Write counter and  Physical Disk Avg. Disk sec/Write counter.
    But I can see the different Avg. value and Max. value. 
    Even if Logical and Physical Disk are one-to-one mapping.
    Why did i get the result?
    One the other hands, I got a same result that Logical Disk Avg. Disk sec/Read counter and  Physical Disk Avg. Disk sec/Read counter's Avg. value and Max. value.

    Physical Disk refers to an actual physical HDD (or array in a hardware RAID setup), whereas Logical Disk refers to a Volume that has been created on that disk.
    So if you have one disk with one volume created on it then the values are likely to be 1 to 1, but if you have multiple volumes on the disk, for instance a physical disk with C:\ and D:\ volumes running on it, then the logical disks relate to c:\ and d:\
    rather than the disk they're running on.

  • Need to separate drive alerts with Logical Disk Free Space monitoring in SCOM 2012

    I have an interesting need here to separate our SCOM alerts for Logical Disk Free space so that one alert is for OSSystem drives ONLY (C:/D:) and the other monitor alerts on all APP drives only (E:, etc). So far we have had great success using Kevin Holman's
    blog post.
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2009/11/24/writing-monitors-to-target-logical-or-physical-disks.aspx
    We have overrides set so that the monitors report ONLY the percentage of free space left and ignores any MB threshold. So far so good, the alert comes in that host A reports low disk space on D: at 2.345...% free or host B reports low disk space on F: at
    4.567...% free space etc. Now that we have our monitors working within the Windows Server classes Logical Disk, we need to set these monitors so that one is just for C or D drives with the alert named system Logical Disk Free Space OS Disk Warn and the other
    monitor just reports on E - Z drives (excluding C or D) with the alert named Logical Disk Free Space APP Disk Warn.
    We are very new to SCOM so I made the rookie mistake of creating a dynamic group for all Windows Server 2003 Logical Disk class that only includes Device Name = C or D. But found out too late you cant point a monitor to a group, it has to target a class.
    And using the current monitors we set up with the above blog uses the correct logical disk class, but it doesnt care what instance (device Id = value), it will report low disk space on ANY logical drive. How in the world can we separate and exclude these monitors
    so that one alerts only on OS disks (C and D) and the other only alerts on app disks (E through Z)?

    Hi Kevsharp,
    Quite confusing after reading your question.
    So based on your requirement, What i understand is you need separate alerts for all the drives of the disk is running at low or out of space right ?
    For the above just create a simple performance counter monitor and use the same counters as kevin has used in his blog.
    Now Target: Use Windows server operating system (This will target all the Windows operating system agents in your SCOM. If the specified discovery MP's are installed).
    Set a threshold Below 10% is critical or what ever. You will get the alerts in your console.

  • Logical Disk space on a virtual Computer (not a Server) in SCOM 2012

    Hello all-
       I have a sort of unique situation for our SCOM environment.  We are already doing logical disk space monitoring on all of our SERVERS with no issues.  Now we have one user who requires monitoring on their computer.  This is really
    a virtual workstation, as opposed to a real computer.   Since it's virtual, it's really online all the time.    Whether its right or wrong, they are using this virtual workstation sort of as a server.  Anyway, they want me to
    monitor the disk space for the C drive on this virtual computer.  I'm having difficulty setting up such a monitor on a computer like that...
    I got the SCOM agent installed onto the computer.  SCOM is reporting it as being "Healthy".   Now how can I define a logical disk space monitor for it?   I attempt to create a monitor:   Windows Performance Counters,
    Static Thresholds, Single Threshold.  Then how can I direct the monitor at the C drive on the computer?  I have to fill in the Object, Counter and Instanace.  Normally I would click on the
    Select button, then I would type in the server name and hit Enter and it would bring up all the objects it will allow me to monitor.  Unfortunately it doesn't let me type in the computer name and hit enter in the same way.  When I
    do so, it says "The network path was not found".  If I click on the
    ... button next to the Computer field, it brings me to a Select Computer screen.  In here, I am type in the computer name and then I click
    Check Name and it does appear to find it, and it underlines the computer's name.    So I then click
    OK to bring me back to the previous screen where it presents me with the same  "The network path was not found" error immediately. So I can't seem to navigate to the computer in SCOM and select the C drive, as I would be able
    to for a server.
    I tried to sort of force it in, instead of browsing for the computer and selecting the C drive.  I simply put
    LogicalDisk in for the Object then Free Megabytes for the Counter, then
    C: for the Instance (as shown in the attached screen print.
    Then I just applied my new rule to the computer via SCOM.  I don't get any error messages when setting it up that way, but it certainly doesn't work.
    So with all that said, can anyone help me out setting up a logical disk space monitoring for a COMPUTER in SCOM 2012 SP1 please?  Please let me know if you need any more information!

    Thanks, that would probably do it, I'm going to keep that as my backup plan.  However, my current feeling is that it might be a bit overkill to install a whole management pack, when all I want to do is monitor a single C drive on a single workstation. 
    The rest of the monitors in the management pack I wouldn't have any interest it.   Let me ask you a question maybe you will know the answer to... Shouldn't I be able to monitor that drive even without that management pack installed?   I
    mean some combination of settings for the Logical Disk Space rule in that management pack works for computers/workstations.  Shouldn't I be able to reproduce that one single rule without the management pack?  Does anyone have that management pack
    installed?  Could you possibly look at the Client OS Logical Disk Space rule and send me some screen shots or something?   Or am I missing something?  Is the management pack needed for other reasons in order to monitor this?

Maybe you are looking for
