Hi

First time here, but day one user of mobilePcmonitor (BTW: thanks for this wonderfull tool)

Since I've upgraded my servers and my desktop to Windows2012 server and Windows8 I enjoy the use of StoragePool.

But at this time Mobile Monitor doesn't support this feature.

Indeed, with StoragePool you can set a fin provisionned StorageSpace (virtual Drive) which can be much bigger than the actual space available on the drive.

For example I can set a 50TB storagespace with only a set of two 2TB drive.

The StorageSpace is see by the Agent as a normal drive so you'll see a 50TB with 1 or 2TB used. Nothing can tell me if the actual drive are near to full.

Windows Server manager and Powershell can show me how much real space I have and how much I use but I found no way to be notified through MobilePcMonitor when I'll need to add a new drive on the StorageSpace (didn't find any performance counter for this)

Is there a way to add StoragePool support to the agent and the client ?

Thanks

Basically you are interested in reading all the storage pools and getting real and virtual disk usages?

If so, can you give me the powershell scripts used to get that information and I will make a plugin for it.

Hi

 

Thanks for your answer. Sorry to be late here, was a bit busy... And I had hard time to find the good powersheel cmdlt for that.

 

I found this to fetch actual physicaldisk size and allocated size:

 

Get-WmiObject -Namespace "root/Microsoft/Windows/Storage" -Class MSFT_PhysicalDisk -Property Friendlyname, Size, AllocatedSize, Healthstatus,model | Format-Table Friendlyname, model, Size, Allocatedsize, healthstatus

 

With this info you can check the Data filled on the physicaldisk and using it for what we need in PCMonitor

 

More infos here about the WMI-Object:
