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.

So you have access to vCenter Operations Management?– ewwhiteAug 17, 2013 at 12:14

I have the entitlement to use it, though I've never looked at it. Is that the tool for the job?– SimonJGreenAug 17, 2013 at 19:56

Depends on how much of a realtime view you need. I'd really do this at the array level. vCops can give an okay view, though.– ewwhiteAug 17, 2013 at 22:22

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

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
