The D: drive is not an optical drive. It is a hard drive on the Windows server. How do I change it to a Fixed Disk?
Note: it would not work to change the drive letter of the drive. Too many things point to it. All the servers there have a D drive and they are labeled as DATA.
Here is the output
hrStorageIndex.1 = 1
hrStorageIndex.2 = 2 hrStorageIndex.3 = 3
hrStorageIndex.4 = 4
hrStorageIndex.5 = 5
hrStorageType.1 = hrStorageRemovableDisk
hrStorageType.2 = hrStorageFixedDisk hrStorageType.3 = hrStorageCompactDisc
hrStorageType.4 = hrStorageVirtualMemory
hrStorageType.5 = hrStorageRam
hrStorageDescr.1 = A:\
hrStorageDescr.2 = C:\ Label: Serial Number a6ad296 hrStorageDescr.3 = D:\
hrStorageDescr.4 = Virtual Memory
hrStorageDescr.5 = Physical Memory
hrDeviceDescr.26 = A:\ hrDeviceDescr.27 = D:\
hrDeviceDescr.28 = Fixed Disk
hrDeviceDescr.29 = Fixed Disk
I am not sure why Windows is presenting it as an optical drive. The D: drives that are optical show up since I change it to show optical drives. But the D: drives that are hard drives still don’t show up. This is the same for OSs 2012, 2012 r2, 2016, and 2019 Windows servers. Is it possible that the code calls D drives in windows optical? I don’t see any E: drives that are optical showing as optical. They just don’t show up either now that I am allowing optical drives.
What file does the reading of the SNMP? We have another monitoring system that sees it as a hard drive. But the system doesn’t report bandwidth or IO operations.
I would love for our team to give something back to a wonderful system. Any pointers in the right direction so we can see why it is claiming the D: drive in windows as an optical would be appreciated.
The storage team and application teams have changed the drive to E and it is now reporting as expected. But this took many hours of work on their part to make that happen.
One last thing. I can not find all the examples for the config file. I know it was removed and is now history, but there are a lot of configs that I could use that were in there.
