Logical disk counter Typical storage term Suggested actions in Windows Azure virtual machine environment Disk reads / second Disk writes / second IOPS Measure the number of I/O’s per second. Consider adding more data disks in line with your IOPS requirements. Average disk sec / read Average disk sec / write Latency Measure disk latency. Note: Numbers might vary; look at averages over time. Average disk bytes / read Average disk bytes / write Block size Measure the size of I/O’s being issued. Note: Larger I/O’s tend to have higher latency, such as those associated with BACKUP/RESTORE. Average / current disk queue length Outstanding or waiting IOPSProvides insight into the applications I/O pattern. Disk read bytes/sec Disk write bytes/sec Throughput or aggregate throughput Measure of total disk throughput. Note: Ideally, larger block scans should be able to heavily utilize connection bandwidth (for example, your throughput can be higher with a smaller number of larger IOPS).
E.g. CREATE CREDENTIAL mystorage WITH IDENTITY = ‘mystorage', SECRET = ‘xxxxxxx’
