VMware LUNs Report

Edit online

Review the storage utilization of your VMware LUNs, including the amount of data transferred through the available transport types. Run the VMware LUNs report to view your LUNs, associated datastores, total and allocated capacities, and storage vendors.

Before you begin

Create and run a VMware Inventory job. You can select one or more VMware providers in a single job definition for cataloging. See Creating a VMware Inventory job definition.

Use the VMware LUNs report to answer questions such as:
  • How many LUNs are associated with a specific storage vendor?
  • What is the total and allocated capacity of a LUN?

Parameters

Use the following parameters to customize your report:

  • vCenter
  • ESX Host

    Multiple selections are supported.

The default report parameters report on all vCenters and ESX hosts.

Quick View

The Quick View section displays a pie chart of LUN storage utilization by storage vendor. Use the ESX Host parameter to display LUNs on all hosts or a specific host. Any storage vendor that takes less than 5% of the total size of all datastores displays as Others.
Note: The Quick View section is only modified through the ESX Host parameter.
