I've got one I just posted on poschode.org.  It requires the second script in the list.  (I need to go back and standardize my naming.)

But allthough the balacing should not only belance the vms of their diskspace required . It should be combined with the workload of the vms, in that manner that the heavy write intensive vm's will be not be put on the the lun. they should be splitted in a following way.

first balance the vm's with heaviest workload

second the middle workload

third the lowest

That is exactly the thoughts that Gabrie van Zanten and I had two years ago: http://www.gabesvirtualworld.com/harlem-shuffle-with-vmdks/

We weren't able to solve the puzzle in the end, but luckily VMware is working on something for us: Storage DRS
