System Wide - Disks

System Wide Disk reports provide detailed information about the disks in the monitored computers in your system.

Each row in the report gives you detailed information for each disk. For example, the Disks by Grown Defects report allows you to view all the disks in the system sorted in order of the number of grown defects they have on them, and what disks in your system are experiencing problems and may be in danger of an imminent failure. The Disks by Primary Defects report allows you to view all the disks in the system sorted in order of the number of primary defects they have on them and what disks in your system are in good shape and which ones are more or less defective.

Select beside the disk name for which you want to view detailed information. You can also select to view graphical history information about the disk.

You can generate Disk reports by:

Report Fields

The fields provided in the reports are:

Field Name

Description

Computer

name of the computer containing a disk defect

Path

full path to the location of a disk defect

Primary Defects

number of defects on the disk when it was new

Manufacturer

name of the manufacturer for the disk drive containing the disk defect

Model

model number of the disk drive containing a disk defect

RPM

speed that the disk turns (revolutions per minute)

Read Cache

hardware caching turned on/off for reads

Write Cache

hardware caching turned on/off for writes

Failure Predicted

disk predicts a failure

Probe Last Run

date and time when the last probe was run

Discovered Time

date and time when a disk defect was discovered

Capacity

storage capacity of the disk drive containing a defect

Unallocated Space

amount of unused storage space on the disk drive containing a defect

Grown Defects

number of defects detected by the disk since new

Recovered Errors

number of errors (read, write, verify) from which the disk was able to recover

Unrecovered Errors

number of errors (read, write, verify) from which the disk was not able to recover

Bytes Written

number of bytes written to the disk

Bytes Read

number of bytes read from the disk

Automatic Write Reallocation

disk attempts to move the data sector on the disk in the event of a write error

Desired Automatic Write Reallocation

change automatic write allocation on the next probe

Automatic Read Reallocation

disk attempts to move the data sector on the disk in the event of a read error

Desired Automatic Read Reallocation

change automatic read allocation on the next probe

Read Continuous

no error correction (setting is ON = no error correction)

Desired Read Continuous

change automatic read continuous on the next probe
