Inefficient Datastore Usage

This report provides an overview of storage devices that accommodate inactive virtual machines.

The Storage Consumed by Inactive VMs (GB) chart displays the amount of storage space consumed by VMs that have been inactive for one month, six months and one week.

The Details table shows the full list of inactive VMs and rates the VMs by the amount of consumed storage.

Use Case

Inactive VMs consume valuable storage space. Use this report to review performance of your VMs and identify VMs that can be deleted or relocated to less costly datastores to reclaim additional storage space.
