Hii Vmo,

We have got Hosts upto 40 +, and i belive it's not easy to use take out each and every host performance analyse it and decide it's maximum capicity

Looking for some easy way to finish this task ASAP.

Maybe run a trial of vCenter Operations? That seems to fit your needs.

There are plenty of free tools from Veeam, vKernel, Quest and etc, which can give basic capacity & performance data. On the below link there is a good collection of some of those tools:

You can always upgrade to the full version if the free versions do not meet your need.

Hi Linjo,

Thanks for the help Linjo, vCenter Operations Manager is really an awesome tool, but we have brought ourself solarwinds which is also a nice tool

we have many .vmdk files which has grown more than 30+  GB

request you to please help me with the procedure to split .vmdk files into multiple files on a seperate disks for better performance.

also please let me know KB for VCB in installing and min requirments.

I think, you have one vmdk and partitioned those within the OS. I think, that is not a good idea, specially when you want to increase the size of the disks.

You will have to create a new vmdk attach it and then move the contents from that drive to the new vmdk.

You will have to use some kind of tool like robocopy to copy the files.

Hope this helps.

thanks
