It's not to the VMWare checker, but to the *nix diskspace checker :-) And looking at the sources of that checker, it was already added … kind of weird as I don't remember ever testing it :-)
So the best step would be that you try it and if it's not working correctly for you, then we can try to adapt. BUT in order to be able to adapt it we will need SSH access to an ESX system.

From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:sal...@woodstone.nu] On Behalf Of Vogl, Tom Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2009 11:01 PM To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: [SA-list] Disk Space check for VMWare ESX Servers 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? -Tom To unsubscribe send a message with UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line to salive@woodstone.nu If you use auto-responders (like out-of-the-office messages), make sure that they are not sent to the list nor to individual members.
