Location of vram "analyzer utility" for vSphere 4?

[MikeOD]

In the vSphere 5 licensing presentation, they talk about a "free utility that analyzed VI3 or vSphere 4 environment and determines vRam consumed".  It says it will be available late Q2, 2011.  Does anyone know where I can download it from?

I don't know of the official "analyzer utility", but the below will get you the information using PowerCLI

I was looking for the one they specifically mentioned in the V5 presentation to help prepare for the vSphere 5 licensing model.  I figure I could run it now, then periodically as time goes on, so that when we are ready to upgrade to vSphere 5 we won't run into any licensing issues.

I don't believe this tool exists yet, that is why I posted the PowerCLI method.

Sorry about that, I thought you misunderstood my question..

The presentation said it would be available "late Q2", and since Q2 ended two weeks ago, I was thinking they had released it somewhere and I was just missing it. 

I guess they mean REALLY late Q2..

The tool from VMware will be coming soon. Right now there is Luc's script (mentioned above) and one from Hugo Peeters. Also (and I always like to give out scoops) I think http://www.virtu-al.net/ will have another one "from" VMware before the official tool comes, and the smart money says to check there tonight! 🙂

Run them and post your results on this thread -- http://communities.vmware.com/thread/321065

I'm very interested in real world numbers. Then we can get into the meat of this discussion.
