Abstract
An article of manufacture includes a non-transitory machine-readable medium. The medium includes instructions. The instructions, when loaded and executed by a processor, configure the processor to, from an operating system, determine that a software defined storage (SDS) application installed in the operating system is configured to access a disk. The disk includes an SDS partition. The instructions are further configured to cause the processor to determine that the disk is to be monitored for performance and access a monitoring partition on the disk. The monitoring partition is inaccessible to the SDS application. The instructions are further configured to cause the processor to write test data to the monitoring partition and validate the test data written to the monitoring partition.
