Physical System Operations per second

Are stupidly low.

Granted this system isn't killing it either.

I'm missing context, what system?

You only need a 5400 rpm laptop drive for that

This is a DC over a 5 minute view.

Well, is this usage or stress test?

Average morning usage.

Is there a problem? Just because the numbers are low doesn't mean there is a problem.

No no problem, just setting up Zabbix to pull IOPS from my systems so I have the information.

That's actually about what I'd expect for a DC. They really don't need to touch the drives much.

No reason for a DC to be hitting the disk.

Is the implication here that it's mostly in memory?

[Breffni Potter]

You could run even a GUI DC of Windows Server on a 2GB of Ram box with low processor resources and it will be fine as a DC.

Yes. AD DC is a simple application that is quite tiny and just loads into memory. The database that it accesses is absolutely minuscule and should cache into memory on first read. Unless people are making changes to their accounts, it should do no disk activity except for normal logging. There isn't any activity that should send the DC to the disk with any regularity.

You look exactly like my friend Tony
