Use this report to view the list of Virtual Machine Servers, with access to reports that provide details to help you determine what is using the space on a datastore. This report lists ESX servers, one line item for each physical server, with usage and status information.
The VM Server Summary lists the VM Servers within your selected scope; that is, the physical servers that are hosting the VMs.
When running this report, the following mutually exclusive scope selections are available:
Host Group
Datastore
Note:
When using advanced filtering for tabular reports to filter rows by the Indicator Lights (for example, Status or Hardware Health) use the color: Red, Yellow, Green, or White.
Table: VM Server Summary
Column name | Description |
|---|---|
|
Cluster Name |
Name of the cluster with which the VM server is associated. |
|
Name |
Name of the VM Server that is hosting the virtual server; for example, the ESX host |
|
VM Tags |
Displays VMWare tags and custom attributes associated with ESX Hosts and VMs. Tags refer to metadata, such as location or OS, that are assigned to objects to categorize them. |
|
IP Address |
IP address of the VM Server |
|
Data Center |
The data center in which the server resides. |
|
State |
VM connection state: Connected, Not Responding, Disconnected, None |
|
Status |
White circle=Status Unknown, Green check mark=Normal, Yellow triangle=Warning, Red X=Alert, definite problem. When filtering the report on this field, use the color. |
|
Hardware Health |
Indicates the overall health of the host's hardware: None, Unknown, Green check mark=Normal, Yellow triangle=Warning, Red X=Alert. When filtering the report on this field, use the color. |
|
# CPUs |
Total number of processors in the virtual machine |
|
Avg CPU Usage Last 24 Hrs |
The host's average CPU usage for the past 24 hours for the number of samples taken within that time frame |
|
Additional VMs |
Based on CPU resources, this value helps to determine how many more VMs can be supported on the VM server. |
|
Total Memory |
Total memory capacity of the VM Server. |
|
Avg Mem Usage Last 24 Hrs |
The VM Server's average memory usage for the past 24 hours for the number of samples taken within that time frame |
|
Additional VMs |
Based on memory resources, this value helps to determine how many more VMs can be supported on the VM server. |
|
# Disks |
The number of disks that the VM Server can access, either internal disks or LUNs. See Datastore Utilization Summary . Note that the disks are specific to the VM server, whereas the Datastore utilization may be using both VM Server disks and disks apart from the VM Server disks. |
|
Unallocated |
Amount of disk space that is unallocated. Mouse over this thermometer to view the total, unallocated, and percentage unallocated. Click on this thermometer to view the utilization summary. |
|
# Datastores |
The number of datastores provisioned to the VM Server. |
|
Datastore Usage |
Mouse over the thermometer bar to view the total datastore capacity, the amount used, and the % of the total used. |
|
# Active VMs |
A VM is active when it is powered on. An inactive VM is in the inventory, but is powered off. This column shows the number of active VMs. See VM Summary . |
|
# Total VMs |
The total number of VMs in the inventory, both active and inactive. See VM Summary . |
