[OpsMgr 2007 R2][OpsMgr 2012] Authoring performance collection rules for cluster disks – the *RIGHT* way.

Kevin Holman has published a very interesting article on his blog : >>>   Here   <<<

He recently wrotes about the Windows Server Operating System Management pack version 6.0.6989.0 HERE.  In the “known issues” section of that article – He discussed that the MP is solid – except there are no performance collection rules for cluster disks, such as latency, or free space, to leverage in your reports.

We now have three different types of common disks in Windows servers (Logical Disks, Cluster Disks, and Cluster Shared Volumes).  This means we have to have three different sets of rules targeting each class, for collecting performance data. 

This article will be a walk through on how to correctly create performance collection rules, to collect performance data from Cluster disks.  It can be used as an example on how to collect performance data from any multi-instance object.

For the community – He has attached his Addendum management pack below, so you can use it as a guide or optionally modify it/seal it and use it directly.
