cannot find disk performance chart option in VC

[Ajay_Nabh]

Hi All

we are using HP Blade with Netapp(Iscsi), ESX 3.5 and VC2.5. My question is when I go to VM's and click on performance and try to select disk option but it is not there. I can see rest os the options like system, network cpu and memory but no disk.

Please help me with this, I am totally lost..

Thanks

Ajay

In VC I think you can only get disk utilization by ESX host.

For VMs you can use perfmon inside the VM or use 3rd party tools like MOM/SCOM, nWorks, etc.

If it was useful, give me credit

The Disk counters are definitely available for VMs on a "per VM" basis. When you have a VM selected and go to the Performance tab, is the "Disk" entry missing from the "Switch to" drop down all together, or can you pick it and it doesn't display any counters? You can click on "Change Chart Options" and pick different counters you want graphed (it may just be that all of the disk counters are currently not selected)...

this option is available for both ESX host and Disk. Make sure you check out the box which you want to view from change chart option
