Performance Charts for a group of VM's

Hallo,

i have a cluster of 10 host-server (ESX 3.01) and about 200 virtual machines, but only

two resource pools (produktiv and test).

Now i have to find out the performance of several virtual machines with common properties like domain, OS, VLan etc.

Is there any possibility to group them for the performance charts?

Best regards

Peter

Unfortunately, no. There's no way I know of to get reports on multiple VM's at the same time. What you can do is get a report on a parent object that would encompass the virtual machines, but that would be an averaged report based on all of the virtual machines, and not the virtual machines directly.

There are other means you can attempt, such as using powershell toolkit to gather performance stats on vm's individually. Or you can get the data out of the vc db directly, if you are SQL and programatically inclined. You can use sql reporting services, if you have that running, or there are some commercial and open source tools that may help get that data, but it can't currently be done through vc directly.
