Running a VM environment report

Choose this to review the storage utilization of the datastores in your VM environment. Information that this report provides can be filtered using the Hypervisor Type and Hypervisor. The Detail View Filter controls the datastores to display in the detail view based on the percentage of space used. Use the Show Only Orphaned Datastores filter to view datastores that do not have any virtual machines assigned to them, or virtual machines that are in an inaccessible state. The reason for a datastore to be in an orphaned state is displayed in the Datastore field in the detail view.

Quick view displays a pie chart with the storage utilization of free and used space. The summary view displays the hypervisor, datastore count, the capacity and the free space. The detail view shows the datastores and displays orphaned datastores that have no VMs registered. Also displayed is the associated hypervisor, hypervisor type, datastore type, the capacity, the free space, and the percentage used. All three views contain the total datastores, total capacity, and the total free space. The Search box may be used to further filter report results.

Review the storage utilization of your virtual machine logical unit numbers (LUNs). Filters for this report type include Hypervisor Type, and Hypervisors. Use the Show Only Orphaned Datastores filter to view datastores that do not have any virtual machines assigned to them, or virtual machines that are in an inaccessible state.

In the report, the summary view displays the hypervisor, the number of LUNs associated with the hypervisor, and the capacity. In the detail view, the LUN name, LUN ID, storage vendor, hypervisor, the datastore or volume, the capacity, transport type, and the raw device mapping for each LUN is displayed. Both views display the total LUN count and total capacity. The Search box may be used to further filter report results.

This snapshot sprawl report displays the age, name, and number of snapshots that are used to protect your Hypervisor resources. The available report options to filter are by Hypervisor Type, Hypervisor, and Tags. Use the Snapshot Creation Time filter to display snapshots from specific periods of time.

The report contains a detail view which displays the snapshot name and snapshot creation time. Each snapshot appears under the associated VM, hypervisor, and hypervisor type. The total number of VMs and snapshots are displayed at the end of the view. The Search box may be used to further filter report results.

Review the status of your virtual machines, including virtual machines that are powered off, powered on, or suspended. Run this report to view unused virtual machines, the date and time when they were powered off, and virtual machine templates. The available report options to filter are by Hypervisor Type, Hypervisor, Days Since Last Powered Off, Dayces Since Last Suspended, Days Since Last Powered On, and Tags.

The report contains the quick view which is a pie graph that displays the storage utilization based on the virtual machine's power state: powered off VMs, powered on VMs, templates, and suspended VMs. There are also detail views for each of the power states. The detail view - powered off VMs displays the VM name, the date and number of days since powered off, the associated hypervisor, the type of hypervisor, the provisioned space, and the datastore or volume. The total powered off VMs are displayed at the bottom of this view along with the total provisioned space. The detail view - suspended VMs contains the VM name, the date and number of days since the VM was suspended, the associated hypervisor, the type of hypervisor, the provisioned space, and the datastore of volume. The total number of suspended VMs and the total provisioned space is displayed at the bottom of the view. The detail view - templates contains the template names, associated hypervisor, the hypervisor type, the provisioned space, and the datastore or volume. The total templates and total provisioned space appears at the bottom of the view. The detail view - powered on VMs contains the VM name, the date and number of days that the VM has been powered on, the associated hypervisor, the hypervisor type, the provisioned space, and the datastore or volume. At the end of the view is the total number of powered on VMs and the total provisioned space. The Search box may be used to further filter report results.

Review your virtual machines and associated datastores in this report. View associated datastores and provisioned space of the datastores. Use the report options to filter by Hypervisor Type and to select which Hypervisor to display.

The report contains a detail view which displays the VM name and the provisioned space. Each VM appears under the associated datastore or volume, hypervisor, and hypervisor type. The total number of datastores/volumes and VMs are displayed at the end of the view. The Search box may be used to further filter report results.
