Hi All
Does anyone know if its possible to do availability reporting at all?
We are looking to graph and report on availability of our ESX farm, matching to a defined SLA, so probably about 99.6% or something.
Has anyone done this?
Cheers
Stew
yes please, if that is available, I also would like to know that if it is possible.
Kind Regards,
AWT
Hello,
Do you looking for report that looks like the one generated from this command?
PS> $logItem = Get-VMHost $logItem.Entries

Thanks Vitali,
Here's what I've got:

At :line:2 char:32
+ $logItem = Get-VMHost | Get-Log <<<< -Key vmksummary

Hi,
Do you use ESXi servers? It appears that vmksummary log is not supported on ESXi.
Vitali
Ah yes, I'm using ESXi not the ESX.
Hi again,
Below you can see how the vmksummary log looks on ESX. Is this the report that you are looking for?

Hi Again too,
Yes that is what I'd like to generate for all of my ESXi servers, I wonder if that is possible or not ?
Thanks
Hi again,
It appears that currently it is not possible to generate this report on ESXi.
I'm not sure isn't it possible to extract the needed information from the other logs available in ESXi hosts.
Vitali
Yes, you could be right man, thanks anyway for your efforts in explaining and giving some examples Vitali.
Cheers,
AWT
