The Host Virtualization Summary Report provides an enterprise summary about host virtualization. The report shows storage allocation and consumption in managed virtual hosts and virtual machines and summarizes the data for storage allocated to the virtualization server.
This report helps you to analyze storage utilization in a virtualization environment. Use this report to determine how storage is being allocated to the virtualization server. With this information, determine what storage could be reclaimed at every level (claimed storage, logical storage, or storage on a virtual machine).
The report displays the following charts:
Host Virtualization Storage Summary bar chart: Displays aggregate information for the storage allocated to the virtualization servers and virtual hosts (in the first three bars) and information about storage consumption by the virtual machines and virtual hosts (in the last three bars).
Virtualization Server Storage Distribution by Interface pie chart: Out of the total configured storage, displays how much is attached directly to the host through a SCSI interface, IDE and iSCSI interfaces, and SAN devices like switches (Fibre).
Virtual Machine Storage Usage by Platform pie chart: Displays storage distribution based on the platforms, such as Linux and Windows, on which the virtual hosts are running.
Managed Virtual Host Storage Usage by Platform pie chart: Displays storage distribution on managed virtual hosts.
Virtual Machine Storage Usage pie chart: Displays storage distribution on virtual machines.
Virtual Machine Distribution pie chart: Displays how many of the virtual machines have virtual hosts installed on them and how many do not have any virtual hosts installed.
Virtual Machine Distribution by Platform pie chart: Displays storage distribution based on platforms on which the virtual hosts are running.
You can customize the scope of the report by choosing to view data for the enterprise, just the Virtualization Server, or just generic groups.
