Drives are running out of free space (SharePoint Foundation 2010)

 

Applies to: SharePoint Foundation 2010

Rule Name:   Drives are running out of free space

Summary:   Disk drives on one or more of the servers in the farm are running out of disk space.

Note

This rule checks disk space as a proportion of the RAM on the computer. When disk space is less than twice the RAM on the computer, the health rule triggers an error. When disk space is less than five times the RAM on the computer, the health rule triggers a warning. Accordingly, server computers with lots of RAM are more likely to experience a failure of this rule.

Resolution:   Free disk space on the server computer
