The Hyper-V Infrastructure dashboard provides at-a-glance view of configuration of the Microsoft Hyper-V infrastructure and helps you assess the overall performance and resource usage efficiency.

Hyper-V Infrastructure Dashboard

Widgets Included

  • Virtual Environment

This widget shows the total number of SCVMM servers, clusters, Hyper-V hosts and VMs in your environment, as well as the number of currently running VMs.

  • CPU and Memory Resources

This widget assesses physical compute resources deployed across Hyper-V hosts and shows the amount of available resources.

  • Datastores Capacity

This widget provides information on the number of volumes in the virtual environment, their total capacity, the amount of provisioned and free space left.

  • Consolidation Ratio

The widget tracks the amount of virtual hardware placed on physical hardware:

  • Hosts/Datastore ratio shows the average number of hosts connected to a single volume.
  • VMs/Host ratio shows the average number of VMs running on a single physical host.
  • VMs/Datastore ratio shows the average number of VMs that store data on a single volume.
  • Allocation Ratio

The widget tracks the amount of resources allocated to VMs (allocated resources against physical resources, in percent):

  • vCPU allocation ration shows the amount of CPU resources allocated to VMs.
  • Datastores allocation ratio shows the amount of volume space allocated to VMs.
  • Memory allocation ratio shows the amount of RAM allocated to VMs.
  • Wasted Resources

The widget tracks the amount of available and wasted resources:

  • vCPU value shows the number of vCPUs configured for VMs.
  • vCPU Wasted value shows the number of vCPUs that can be reclaimed from oversized VMs.
  • Allocated Memory shows the amount of memory allocated to VMs.
  • Memory Wasted value shows the amount of memory that can be reclaimed from oversized VMs.
