Sent when a disk's configured threshold is exceeded.
Type
Polled
Action
Consider the following options to reduce the disk's load:
Spread databases across multiple disks which will increase the Blocks in database buffers (-B parameter).
Add more disks.
Request that your system administrator invest in faster disks.
Notes
Adding more disks to a system increases overall disk I/O because reads and writes can span across multiple disks. However, the performance results depend on how the multiple disks are grouped and how you structure your databases.
For information on how your OpenEdge databases affect disk I/O, view the following OpenEdge VSTs:
_ActBuffer._Buffer-OSRds — Displays information about the number of database block reads from disk
_ActBuffer._Buffer-OSWrts — Displays information about the number of database block writes to disk
_ActIOType — Displays information about types of input/output activity, such as database reads and writes, BI and AI reads, total reads, BI and AI writes, and committed transactions
_ActIOFile — Displays information about input/output activity, including the number of reads, writes, and extends for each file
