VMWare: Measure the disk usage of my VMs
Hello Experts.
I have a simple scenario. This is a VM infrastructure that is using one entire aggregate of disks for all the VMs of the environment (Approximately 40). Each VM is using its own volume and I want to know which ones are the VMs demanding more disk operations in this environment (It could be in terms of IOPS, Data throughput, Disk operations, etc). And this measures could be either from the perspective of the VMs or they volumes that they use.
I saw that in vSphere there is an option for checking the disk usage in terms of size available, but what I want to know is the impact that the VMs are duing on the storage. In order to identify the top VMs consuming most of the storage IOPS.
I Just know the very basics of VMWare. Thanks

Correct, the hosts which is actually hosting the VM.

Great.
One last question, I can see that the command allows me to point to one specific VM, is there a way of collecting data from multiple VMs? Or shall I execute different instances of the same command to collect data from each?

As it's free, and does not take very long, run the commands for VMs, you need info on.

Thanks Andrew :)
