DISCLAIMER: I am new to vRealize, please be gentle- use big pictures and small words.....
During my latest run at VMWorld, I spent time with the vRealize Operations Engineers and we were trying to get details on how I can monitor for IOPS of a VMDK. I realize that a TON has changed in v6 so I am hoping this is an option.
Scenario: Multiple VMs on a single datastore, I am trying to isolate a single VM running 5 VMDK's within the shared Datastore- 4 VMDK's are used for databases/transaction logs, on high speed storage. I am also able to allocate a dedicated amount of IOPS to a Datastore, 15,000 IOPS, from the array.
Discussion question: How do I generate a report (preferably via vRealize) on if I am actually utilizing or able to utilize the full 15,000 IOPS per VMDK? How can I report on each VMDK's use/utilization?
