Multiple Thresholds

For this metric you can set different warning and critical threshold values for each unique combination of "Instance ID", "Disk Group Name", and "Disk Name" objects.

If warning or critical threshold values are currently set for any unique combination of "Instance ID", "Disk Group Name", and "Disk Name" objects, those thresholds can be viewed on the Metric Detail page for this metric.

To specify or change warning or critical threshold values for each unique combination of "Instance ID", "Disk Group Name", and "Disk Name" objects, use the Edit Thresholds page. See Editing Thresholds for information on accessing the Edit Thresholds page.

Data Source

It is calculated using the GV$ASM_DISKGROUP and GV$ASM_DISK views for 10g Release 1 and the GV$ASM_DISKGROUP_STAT and GV$ASM_DISK_STAT views for 10g Release 2. From these views, the total number of failed read/writes for the disk is added to calculate the read write errors detail.
