MSDiskDriver_Performance

We have looked at the MSDiskDriver_Geometry  class now lets look at the MSDiskDriver_Performance class

This is a bit more complicated because the Perfdata property is actually an instance of the MSDiskDriver_PerformanceData class

function get-msdiskdriverperfomance  {            
[CmdletBinding()]            
param (            
 [string]$computer="."            
)            
            
PROCESS{            
$date = Get-Date -Format F            
Get-WmiObject -Namespace root\wmi -Class msdiskdriver_performance `
-ComputerName $computer |             
foreach {            
 $perfdata =  $_ | select InstanceName, Active, DeviceName             
 $perfdata |            
 Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name TimeStamp -Value $($date) -PassThru |            
 Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name BytesRead -Value $($_.PerfData.BytesRead) -PassThru |            
 Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name BytesWritten -Value $($_.PerfData.BytesWritten) -PassThru |            
 Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name IdleTime -Value $($_.PerfData.IdleTime) -PassThru |            
 Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name QueryTime -Value $($_.PerfData.QueryTime) -PassThru |            
 Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name QueueDepth -Value $($_.PerfData.QueueDepth) -PassThru |            
 Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name ReadCount -Value $($_.PerfData.ReadCount) -PassThru |            
 Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name ReadTime -Value $($_.PerfData.ReadTime) -PassThru |            
 Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name SplitCount -Value $($_.PerfData.SplitCount) -PassThru |            
 Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name StorageDeviceNumber -Value $($_.PerfData.StorageDeviceNumber) -PassThru |            
 Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name WriteCount -Value $($_.PerfData.WriteCount) -PassThru |                     
 Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name WriteTime -Value $($_.PerfData.WriteTime)             
            
$perfdata             
}            
}            
}

We get round that by creating an object using select and then using Add-member to add the performance properties.

I get three instances of the MSDiskDriver_Performance  class return which I think correspond to the physical disk and the two logical disks. I need to do a bit more investigation to confirm. In the mean time it does give some interesting statistics on our disks
