VM Summary
Use Search to find a template, report or dashboard by name. Search is case insensitive, supports partial entries, and will display a list of potential matches.
As you enter the name in the Search field, up to 10 potential matches are displayed. If the template, report or dashboard is shown, you can select and run it directly from the match list. You can also click All Items in the match list to go directly to the Search Results.
StorageConsole provides different navigation options to slice and examine your collected data. You can explore the data by using the APTARE customizable report templates or by using parts of your IT infrastructure as entry points. The Inventory Navigator serves as a browser for your infrastructure by object type.
Use the Reports tab to examine the StorageConsole catalog of templates, dashboards and reports - organized by products along with user-created, and system folders. This report is located here:
Virtualization Manager > Administration Reports > VM Summary
Use this report to find the largest Virtual Machines. This report lists virtual guests/hosts with usage and status information.
IMPORTANT: For Virtualization Manager data collection, VMware Tools (VM Tools) must be installed to enable collection of key properties of a VM Guest, such as the IP address, host name, mount points, disk path, available space on VM guest volumes, and guest operating system of the VM. Whenever data collection cannot retrieve a host name, a VM Guest will not be treated as a host in the Inventory and Virtualization Manager reports will not be populated with host details. For example, a host name may not be available in the following situations: the VM may be down, VM Tools may not be installed on the VM Guest, or a VM template may have been collected.
Note: When using advanced filtering for tabular reports, to filter rows by the Indicator Lights (for example, Connection, Power, or Status) use the color: Red, Yellow, Green, or Gray.
VM Name | Name of the Virtual Machine. |
VM Server | The server that is hosting the VM. |
Host Name | Hostname of the guest; value is displayed only if VMware Tools is installed. |
IP Address | IP address of the Virtual Machine; value is displayed only if VMware Tools is installed. |
State: Connection | None, Connected, or Suspended. |
State: Power | Powered Off, Powered On. |
Status | This is essentially an alarm indicator that reflects the condition of the resources: Gray=Status Unknown, Green=Normal, Yellow=Warning, Red=Alert, definite problem. |
Avg CPU Usage Last 24 Hours | The host’s average CPU usage for the past 24 hours for the number of samples taken within that time frame. |
Avg Memory Usage Last 24 Hrs | The host’s average Memory usage for the past 24 hours for the number of samples taken within that time frame. |
Size: VM | Size of the virtual machine, which includes VMDK files, log files, and snapshots; the sum of all the files taking up storage by this VM. |
Size: VM Disk | Amount of storage that was provisioned to the Guest OS when the virtual disk was originally created for the VM. For thin storage, this can be larger than the Datastore capacity associated with the VM. |
VM Size | The sparkline chart provides a visual depiction of the history for the VM file sizes on disk. The data points represent the maximum size for a week for the last 60 days. |
Storage: Volume Usage | This is the disk usage inside of the VM (for example, C:\, D:\)
A Volume maps to logical disks, such as C:\ and D:\, as seen by the guest OS; usage for the past 24 hours for the number of samples taken within that time frame. For inactive VMs, the usage is unknown. |
Storage: Datastores | Datastores used by this VM. |
Storage: Raw Device Map | Indicates if the VM is using Raw Device Mapping. |
