Thin provisioning allows administrators to dedicate more datastore space to VMs than there is real physical capacity. This report helps you assess the potential impact of excessive over-provisioning of datastores on performance of your virtual environment.
- TOP 5 Over-provisioned Datastores chart shows 5 datastores whose amount of provisioned storage space exceeds the total capacity.
- TOP 5 Under-provisioned Datastores chart shows 5 datastores whose amount of provisioned storage space is way below the total capacity.
- TOP 5 Datastores with Least Amount of Free Space table displays top 5 datastores that will run out of free space sooner than other datastores.
- Details section shows tables and charts that provide information on storage space utilization and the number of days left before the specified space utilization/free space threshold will be breached. Arrows in the Out of Free Space in … (Days) column show whether the amount of free space on the datastore has increased (green arrow), decreased (red arrow) or stayed the same (blue arrow) over the previous week.
