Hello.
I've a question about displaying the 'storage class'.
Within the organization our storage is devided in different classes, e.g. standard-mirrored (SM) or enterprise-plus (EP).
For example: Customer X has 10 VMs. 5 VMs of them use XXX GB of standard-mirrored storage and the other 5 use YYY GB enterprise-plus storage. Within the vCenter server you can differentiate the storage class by means of the naming convention like XYZ_123_SM and XYZ_123_EP.
My question: Chargeback can display the consumption of storage but how can I identify the class of the consumed storage?
I need some information like 633 GB of EP anf 721 GB of SM.
Is there any solution, workaround or somithing else?
Regards

I found the following statement under release notes 2.5:
VMware vCenter Chargeback Manager 2.5 Release Notes
It seems to be the only way out but thats not very smart to rename every single VM :smileyconfused:
Hi,
Attribute functionality can be used to solve this issue. For using the Attributes, we need not re-name all the VM. We need to create 2 attribute standard-mirrored (SM) or enterprise-plus (EP) and assign to the VM in the Hierarchy and you can generate the report.
But Attributes cannot be applied to VM which has 2 Hard Drives one residing on Standard-Mirrored and another enterprise-plus.
The kind of reporting that is expected in the above query is not support in CBM
Thanks

Hello,
This actual for me. We need see in report usage (not cost) for different storage types.
It's possible? Please help!
