Component Report - Disk Activity

The Disk Activity section of the component report shows the average disk activity per hour and the disk capacity for each disk.

The values that display in the report header reflect the configuration metrics obtained from the QAPMCONF file when the collection started. These values might change for each interval within a collection period due to dynamic changes in logical partition configuration.

Note: A plus sign (+) displays next to the Unit column to identify multipath disk units. A multipath disk unit is a unit that has multiple redundant paths from the system to the disk unit.
