disk thresholds - possible to choose drives?

Would be nice if when setting the thresholds, you could choose the drives to enable it on and disable. For instance, when I set them all in one shot, I do not want any swap drives getting configured when I do this.
Am I missing something and and this is attainable now?
I think it would be a nice feature if not.

All disks can be set individually, if the sliders are left at the extreme left then no threshold alerting is enabled.

If you're trying to configure all disks using a template via a remote configuration task, then no, IM isn't going to be able to determine what you might want to not have threshold alerting enabled for.

Re: disk thresholds - possible to choose drives?

Thanks. Yes, I know I can do them individually with the sliders, but is a pain.
I was looking for some kind of template like you mentioned where you can possibly choose targets, then drives (figuring maybe SIM would use the data collected as a data source of what each box has), and have them all set.
So, I have been going through all of our servers making changes. It would be fine to use the default command in SIM, but we have a seperate wasp drive on each and when it sets that, alarms go off like mad.

You had me wondering what a wasp drive was for a minute, until I realised it was probably a typo...

You're not going to get the granularity you require. HPSIM has no way of knowing that a drive you have is the swap drive.

Do you fill these up more than others? I leave the same % used thresholds on all disks irrespective of size or use.

Sorry about that. Was in such a rush typing, I did not catch that when I looked it over.
Yes, they do seem to fill up faster on some of our systems.
None of the % used are the same. On a few, we low percentages, but then on the drive we have setup for the swap file, it will reach over 90% at times.
