VMware vSphere Virtual Machines

You can view the list of VMs within a virtual infrastructure container — on a host, on a datastore, in a folder and so on.

To view the list of VMs:

For example, to view what VMs are consuming the greatest amount of memory, you can sort VMs in the list by Memory Usage.

For every VM in the list, the following details are available:

State — state of the VM (powered on, powered off, suspended)
Name — name of the VM
Status — current status of the VM in terms of alarms (healthy, warning or error)
Host — name of the host on which the VM resides
Provisioned Space — amount of storage space provisioned for the VM
Used Space — amount of storage space actually used for storing VM files (for VMs with thin provisioned disks, this value is normally less than Provisioned Space)
CPU Usage — amount of actively used virtual CPU as a percentage of total available CPU resources
Memory Usage — amount of actively used memory resources as a percentage of configured VM memory
IP V4 Address — IP v4 address assigned to the VM
IP V6 Address — IP v6 address assigned to the VM
DNS Name — DNS name of the VM
vCPU — number of virtual CPUs configured for the VM
Assigned Memory — amount of virtual memory allocated for the VM
Guest OS — guest operating system installed in the VM
VMware Tools — state of VMware Tools
Hardware Version — hardware version of the VM
