Display % of disk used per VM in VC

[dvasilenko]

Is it possible to display the % of used disk space, per vm, within VC? If not what would be the most efficient way to gather that information?

Not available by default, but you can use this VC extension written using the SDK to provide the information.

Are there any special install steps or configurations I would need to be aware of.

It basically installs on a workstation that has the VI Client installed on and runs as a service. It periodically polls the servers and updates the custom attribute fields it creates on the VC Server.

Can this be installed on the VC server itself, and if not, does this mean only the workstations with this installed will be able to see the disk used %?

[esiebert7625]

Yes it can be installed on the VC server, I just run mine on my workstation instead to keep my VC server clean.

All workstations can see it, what the program does it simply create custom attribute fields in VC and populates them. You may have to select the columns in the VM view in the VI Client for the other workstations to see them.

Awesome, this defiantly is a feature that I will be taking advantage of. Thanks for the help and giving me a better understanding of this.
