# 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:

1. Open Veeam ONE Client.

   For details, see [Accessing Veeam ONE Components](access.md).

2. At the bottom of the inventory pane, click **Virtual Infrastructure**.
3. In the inventory pane, select the necessary infrastructure container.
4. Open the **Infrastructure Objects** tab and navigate to **Virtual Machines**.
5. To find the necessary VM by name, use the **Search** field at the top of the list.
6. Click column names to sort VMs by a specific parameter.

   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

You can choose what columns to show or hide in the **Virtual Machines** table:

- To hide one or more columns, right-click the table header, and clear check boxes next to the corresponding data fields.
- To make hidden columns visible, right-click the table header, and select check boxes next to the corresponding data fields.
