resxtop: disk information shown in interactive differs to batch?

Hi all,

Hope I'm posting this in the right place here...

I'm new to the CLI etc, so forgive me if I'm being dumb!

I have VSphere CLI installed, and connecting to our ESXi box with resxtop isnt a problem. In interactive mode, if I press "v" I get the "disk vm screen". Obviously columns depend on configuration, but the rows shown are:

hosted-vm1
hosted-vm2
idle
system
busybox.4398
helper
hostd.4702771

If I run resxtop in batch mode, I get stats for the last 5 of the above - ie, none of the stats for each of the hosted VMs - which would be rather nice!

Also, when I run in batch, information from the "disk device" screen seems to be broken down into far more detail. For example, in interactive a device is shown as "mpx.vmhba:C0:T0:L0, while in batch mode there are multiple entries, such as "vmhba1:C0:T0:L0-2916812" (with the 2916812 bit varying). Could someone explain this for me please?!

Any (simply worded!) advice for a newbie would be welcomed!

Thanks
