This one leverages the VMWare APIs and queries all your hosts. You’ll need the VMWare Perl APIs installed on the system. It outputs to a web page so you can crontab it to run once a day and then just check the website when you need to see what memory or disk space is available on each host.<\/p>\n

For accurate memory usage, modify \/usr\/lib\/vmware-viperl\/apps\/host\/hostinfo.pl with however much memory you have installed. For example, if you have 6GB of memory then it would look like:<\/p>\n

if (defined ($host_view->summary->quickStats->overallMemoryUsage)){<\/div>\n
print_log(” “.(6000 – $host_view->summary->quickStats->overallMemoryUsage).” MB”,<\/div>\n
“MemoryUsage”,”\\tMemory Available”);<\/div>\n
}<\/div>\n
I’ve also modified dsbrowse.pl so it would come out a little better<\/div>\n
Examples are available here: http:\/\/storage.the408.com\/infinitedisorder\/<\/a><\/div>\n
Once you’ve modified that perl file, your ready for the good stuff. Make sure each host’s datastore has a unique name too.<\/div>\n
