Monitor Windows Storage Spaces Direct with SCOM Management Pack

SCOM have revamped the old S2D 2016 MP and have added a whole list of new features to enable you with monitoring Microsoft Customer Service of entire S2D stack all the way from Physical disks to CSVs/File shares.Download brad smith microsoft the preview version today and tell us in comments what you like/dislike about this release. To help you get started Support.Microsoft.Com/Help, there is a MP guide along with the MP. Please see detail Microsoft Support Phone Number instructions on how to install this MP which is very easy to follow.

 

For our readers who don't want to go through microsoft closing stores the entire post, the highlight of this release are captured:

1. Storage Pool health and performance monitoring

2. Storage Node health and performance monitoring

3. Physical disks health and performance monitoring

4. Volumes health, performance, deduplication status, resiliency type.

 

Windows Server Storage Spaces Direct 2019 has enabled performance counters for various components which are documented 

The latest S2D MP now supports all these performance counters to make it useful for the admins and operators to see the overall health and performance of clusters.

 

For our readers, who are interested to know more Support.Microsoft.Com/Help, let's see in bit detail what all this MP offers.

 

1. Storage Pool Monitoring: When multiple clusters are deployed, you want to see the health of the storage pool which these clusters are using. If the storage pool health is in critical/warning state, you would like to receive a SCOM alert with the description to root cause the underlying issue brad smith microsoft. This entire experience is possible now by S2D MP. The storage pool health and performance metrics gives you an overview of  storage pool. As we monitor multiple cluster, the cluster name microsoft closing stores is associated Microsoft Customer Service Microsoft Support Phone Number with storage pool. For each storage pool we can check the performance to view the storage capacity and may take actions as per the situation.

The severity and the health of the S2D components Support.Microsoft.Com/Help, that is shown by S2D MP is defined by the health faults which are well documented  . This ensures that health shown by the cluster manager or scom stays in sync.

 Storage Node Monitoring: The other important piece of a cluster is the storage node that forms your cluster. For monitoring we want to see what all nodes form our cluster, and the health and performance of these nodes. We may want to increase the number of nodes in the cluster, if we see the current nodes are being exhausted. 

We can see all the nodes and corresponding cluster under Storage Node. There will be a rule which monitors any error related to Node and fires an alert if an error occurs. With alert description, you take an action immediately and make your cluster healthy

Physical Disks monitoring: Now that our compute is healthy and taken care for our cluster, let's dig a little to the storage side. Let's see what all type(HDD. SSD..) of physical disks are part of our cluster,  and how much storage we are getting from these. All this data enables us to take preventive measure in the scenarios where Support.Microsoft.Com/Help we might have to increase the cache/capacity drive microsoft closing stores based on the usage. Again there are rules running, which will fire an alert when an error occurs Microsoft Customer Service for disks.

CSV Monitoring: Now that we have checked Microsoft Support Phone Number the health and performance of all the different components of our cluster starting from physical disk to storage pool. Next let;s see what all CSVs we have, what is the resiliency type and deduplication status of various volumes across our clusters.

A consolidated view of the brad smith microsoft health of all the CSV's with media type, size, resiliency type and dedup status helps admin to easily manage and monitor the cluster. Alerts will help if the volume is filling up or if there is any error. 

 Network Monitoring: Network monitoring is microsoft closing stores crucial when we are deploying a cluster using multiple components. A rule is checking for any network Support.Microsoft.Com/Help error and will fire an alert for you as soon as some  Microsoft Support Phone Number network related error occurs.

 

Hope this helps and you like this brad smith microsoft new version Microsoft Customer Service that we have released for you. Please share this post if this can help others.
