a volume (i.e. Fixed Disk) shows grey yet the volume space available is green - what can I do to create a volume is missing alert

Question

under the disk volumes block, you can see C:\ volume with green bar for space available, however, when hovering over the C:\ volume, its grey or greyed out.

I'm trying to create an alert that will fire when a fixed disk goes missing or is not available when the server is up.

Here is my alert trigger condition which creates some false positives - the false positives is what I'm trying to eliminate.

Trigger Condition:

Alert on all objects where:
Volume - Volume Type - is equal to - Fixed Disk
The actual trigger condition:
All child conditions must be satisfied (AND) 
    All child conditions must be satisfied (AND) 
      Node - Status - is equal to - Up 
      Nodes Custom Properties - UseType - is equal to - prod 
      At least one child condition must be satisfied (OR) 
  Nodes Custom Properties - Unix_Team - is equal to - 1 
        Nodes Custom Properties - WinTel_Team - is equal to - 1 
    At least one child condition must be satisfied (OR) 
      Volume - Status - is equal to - Unknown 
      Volume - Status - is equal to - Unreachable

Looks good, the only other thing I would consider is adding the variant of Fixed Disk without the space, ('FixedDisk') that shows from some vendors.

I took a look at the DB tables for Volumes and did not see any other statuses that might come into play.

Just in case you do have an event that does not trigger this is the latter part of the Orion Status list; 28 could come into play if you are not running SLX.
