newbie question: how to monitor cluster disk drive free space

ok folks, it is a really painful process for me to use SCOM2007R2 and I figure it might be easier if I start to ask concrete questions.

1. I have a cluster server and I know some drives have only 10MB and they are not changing at all as I fixed them.  How can I use Monitor/Rules so that I could receive Alert?  I was told by our admin that SCOM only got triggered if status got changed . 

In my case, since the drive space will never get changed (fixed to 10MB left), I will never receive alert???

Hi Cat,

Are you wanting an alert if the Free Disk Space falls below a certain value?

"Logical disk free space" is the monitor that will be monitoring this.

Yes, SCOM will send alerts only when the Mbytes and % values of the free space ; mentioned in the monitor are met. You can configure this monitor by setting up correct Mbytes and % values   to change the state of this monitor and thereafter you will receive the alerts from this monitor.

Hope this helps.
