Hard disks counters and performance monitor
Hi there
Can someone please tell me how to create counters and performance log (or whatever it is ) for a hard disk on a windows server 2008.
How to add the counters and most importantly knowing that the hard disk is part of the a virtual machine what is considered as normal activity knowing that this VM is running SQL Server 2008
I think I am getting confused so the simpler step by step the better pls
Thanks

I have another senior engineer who is adamant that it could be nothing to do with the Data store
So I have decided to start troubleshooting from scratch
I am treating it as a windows issue for now

The server is running SQL and the Read/Write is really high
I have set the counters but not sure I have done them correctly
SO, for now I need to know the following
1- How to correctly create hard disk counters and watch them over time
2- What is acceptable lever for read/write counters for a hard disk on VM running SQL on a Windows Server 2008
Thanks
