Powered Off VMs

This report shows a list of VMs that were remaining in the powered off state during the specified period.

For each powered off VM, the report shows its location, size and the datastore where the VM files are stored.

Use Case

Powered off VMs do not consume CPU, memory or network resources, but they take up storage space required to accommodate their disk files, snapshots and configuration data.

The report helps you detect VMs that can be relocated to less costly datastores and identify neglected VMs that can be decommissioned.

• Scope: defines a virtual infrastructure level and its sub-components to analyze in the report.
