Measuring IOPS in VMWare for an entire datastore

  • 772

How can I get a view of current and average IOPS for an entire datastore in vcentre? Ideally in fact I'd like to see IOPS across an entire sDRS pool.

  1. I have used the following script to get the iops of datastore. You can query the esxi host or vcenter.

    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8378981/GatherIOPS.ps1

    It will give you an output like this:

    VM Interval (minutes) Avg Write IOPS Avg Read IOPS

    mssql 30 7 0

    mysql 30 1 0

    db-sandbox 30 2 0

    vcenter 30 8 0

    rdp 30 19 4

    proxy 30 4 1

    I installed VCOP, it has been amazing and is totally the right tool for this job.
