This report analyzes the amount of space consumed by files of VMs on datastores and helps administrators evaluate available datastore resources in the infrastructure.
The Most growing datastores and Least growing datastores charts display top 5 datastores with the largest and the smallest amount of used space. The details table shows datastore space usage statistics and the total number of VMs that store data on the datastores.
