JSI Tip 2195. How do I use performance counters for logical disk objects in Windows 2000?


In Windows NT 4.0, disk counters were off by default, and had to be enabled type typing diskperf -y.

In Windows 2000, physical disk counters are enabled by default, but logical disk objects are disabled, until you type diskperf -yv

The syntax of the diskperf command is:

diskperf \[-Y\[D|V\] | -N\[D|V\]\] \[\\computername\]

Where:

      -Y  Sets the system to start all disk performance counters.
      -YD Enables the disk performance counters for physical drives.
      -YV Enables the disk performance counters for logical drives or storage volumes.
      -N  Sets the system to disable all disk performance counters.
      -ND Disables the disk performance counters for physical drives.
      -NV Disables the disk performance counters for logical drives.
      \\computername Is the name of a remote computer.
NOTE: All enabling actions require a restart.
