Get Used rather than Provisioned space in PowerCLI

  • 772

I'm trying to run a capacity report, and when I run the Get-HardDisk cmdlet in PowerCLI, the value it returns for CapacityKB is the Provisioned space. For example, let's say I've thin provisioned a 200GB disk, which is currently using say 30GB, it returns the 200GB value.

Is there any way I can get the other value? I need to know how much disk space is actually being used on the LUN by the vmdk file. My PowerCLI version is 5.0.1.

vmware-vsphere powercli

    Just query the VM with get-vm and add | Select UsedSpaceGB.

    For example, you could type:

    get-vm | Select Name, UsedSpaceGB, ProvisionedSpaceGB
