What does Disk Access Threshold Exceeded alarm from my LNVR mean?

Question

 
What does the "Disk Access Threshold Exceeded" alarm coming from my LNVR mean?

Answer


Disk access (also known as disk busy) is calculated based on the “LogicalDisk/% Idle Time” Windows performance counter, which can be viewed via the Windows Performance Monitor. The busy time is equivalent to 100% minus the % idle time, as reported by the counter. The busy time includes the time spent both reading and writing to the disk.

If you see this alarm, do the following:
  • Determine why your Idle Time is too low (and consequently Busy Time is so high).
  • Check the Disk Utilization threshold setup for that recorder in System Administration’s video recorder / Performance tab – perhaps the threshold configured there is too low.
