highest active time
i have a raid 10 array and the highest active time is usually at 100% is that normal? disc queue length is between 1 and 2 but it has 6 drives. also, its important to mention that the disk i0 rate is fairly low since im not doing much but high activity appears to be high.

What server? What OS? What Array? Screenshot?

So where are you getting the 100% from?
ASKER
resource manager, disk, disk activity, highest active time
its a raid 10 volume with 6 hard drives

Do you have a screen shot of that?
ASKER
yes heres the screen shot. highest disk active time on this one says 0 right now. normally its 100
Obviously a screenshot showing the problem would have been more useful, especially with the disk details section expanded!
So its 0 in the screenshot, what happens on your system to make it go to 100

So you are surprised?
Remember that we have two measures of disk activity MB/s and IOPS and these two are normally mutually exclusive - High IOPS means low MB/s and vice-versa
