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?

  • I have the entitlement to use it, though I've never looked at it. Is that the tool for the job? Aug 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.

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

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