This report shows the number of VMware disk commands that were aborted, whether through excessively high storage demands or when storage is not properly configured to handle the I/O load. Improper storage configurations are major factor in VMware performance.
Note: This metric is not available if the virtual machine is using an NFS (network file system) datastore.
Definition
When storage devices are overloaded, operation time-outs can cause commands already issued to disk to be aborted. This can lead to serious VMware application-level performance problems. If a storage device is experiencing VM disk command aborts, the cause must be identified and corrected immediately.
