No disks under Hardware Availability Rollup
Hi, We've have SCOM setup in our environment to monitor disk space availability. It's been running well for the past year on Windows 2003 server. In recent months, we've added Windows 2008 server to the agent manage list but I noticed through Health Explorer that no disks are showing for Windows 2008 servers. Hardware Availability Rollup is available in Health Explorer but just no disks. Any suggestions what I can do to show disks for 2008 servers? Thanks, Dylan

Hi Dylan Could you confirm if the disks are not listed or if they are listed but have a status of "Not Monitored" (empty green circle)? I assume that they are not listed - in which case they aren't being discovered. So make sure under Administration, Management Packs that you have the windows server 2008 discovery and monitoring management packs imported (there are seperate ones for discovery and monitoring). If they are imported then check that there aren't overrides against the discovery - Authoring, Management Pack objects, object discoveries - Windows Server 2008 Logical Disk. I doubt anyone would have disabled the discovery (and then run remove-disabledmonitoringobject to remove the disks from OpsMgr) but it is worth a check. Also, make sure the logical disk counters are enabled on the servers. A final check is to look at the operationsmanager event log on the windows 2008 servers to see any discovery errors there. Is the agent action account local system? Or did you choose a windows account? Cheers Graham View OpsMgr tips and tricks at http://systemcentersolutions.wordpress.com/
