Pulling VMDK Used/Total Storage From Virtual Center Data

My boss wants to know the actual disk used to the total disk allocated. Does anyone know how to pull that information?

Using PowerShell is an option:

"Get-VIserver

Get-Datastore"

This will show freespace and total capacity...

Simple, but works..

Are you referring to disk used in the guest vm's or in the datastore? If datastore, then the previous post shows how to get that usage information. If you mean from guests, then powershell is still an option. There is also a plugin that I've seen for vc which can show you that info in the vc screen. I believe you can search the forums for it.
