Dirk,
According to the archives, you were willing to add Disk Space checks into the
VMWare com tool. Were you ever able to do that? If not, are you still
interested?
We would really like to find a way to use SA to alarm on the space used by ESX
host servers. It's not the free disk space that is seen by the guest operating
systems, its the total free space of the storage volume in which the guest
"virtual drive files" exist. It can only be checked through VMKFStools as
follows: /usr/sbin/vmkfstools -P /vmfs/volumes/put-volume-name-here
This will return (among other things) the capacity and free space as a count of
bytes.
Example:
Command entered:
vmkfstools -P "/vmfs/volumes/Volume 2"
Output Generated:
VMFS-3.21 file system spanning 1 partitions.
File system label (if any): Volume 2
Mode: public
Capacity 321854111744 (306944 file blocks * 1048576), 74065117184 (70634
blocks) avail
UUID: 478267d7-fdc18b54-7f26-001c23c45727
Partitions spanned (on "lvm"):
vmhba1:1:2:1
I really need to see the number 74065117184, ideally convertible to K, Meg or
Gig.
Any way to do this easily via SA?
