VC Showing Incorrect VMFS Free Space

[esnmb]

I know one of my LUNs has around 47GB free, but VC is showing it at 200+ GB free. Once I create a VM or something the data is updated. After a day or so it reports the wrong info again.

Also when trying to view the storage link in the configuration tab VC shows timeout errors.

Thoughts?

Sometimes a reboot of the VC server or a vc agent restart on the ESX host helps.

I personally simply ignore the free space in VC.

Maybe this gets fixed in the next VC release.

How do you get your free space? Console commands?

Console commands?

Yes - "vdf -h" is your friend
