VM utilization

[mjohnston]

Greetings, I have been searching to see if Veeam stores the VM utilization data. I already understand I might not be using the correct terminology for this question ...

here is a simplistic example that should explain my definition of 'utilization' .

Lets say I have a VM that consists of a C: drive allocated with 100Gbytes.
it is currently only using 15Gbytes of this volume.

To me this VM would be considered 15% utilized.

I need this data to calculate our VM change rate: (data read / % utilized)

any ideas would be appreciated

Hi Mike,

Do you have Veeam ONE (part of Veeam Availability Suite) by any chance? If yes, then these reports should be exactly what you're searching for: VM Change Rate History and Guest Disk Free Space.

Hope this helps!

Hi Mike and welcome to the forum.

You can check the utilized disk size by running following PW script:

Code: Select all

asnp veeampssnapin
$vm = Get-VBRServer -Name "Your server name" | Find-VBRViEntity - DatastoresAndVMs -Name "Your VM"
$utilized = [int]($vm.usedSize / $vm.provisionedSize * 100)

If you have any questions left, let me know.
