  • 1.  How to get space utilization by file type for storage

    Posted Jun 18, 2021 02:42 PM

    Hello,

    Is there any way to get the space utlilization by file type for each storage from powercli? I would like to get raw numbers, for example:

    In Storage Views – Datastores I did something like that by

    - retrieving all the VMs on the datastore
    - using the LayoutEx.File property of each VM to determine how much space each type of VM file occupied

    If you want a Pie chart, you can use the ImportExcel module and use the New-ExcelChart cmdlet to create such a chart.
