vCenter Operations Manager

I have been using vKernel to manage my vm peformance but want to try vCenter Ops due to the good buzz I am hearing about the product.  In Vkernel I can run a report that will show me all the orphaned snapshots in my environment.  It considers snapshots orphaned if they have been in place for a certain amount of configurable time.  Is there a way in vCOPs to get similar data?  I cannot seem to find a way to view all virtual machines that have "orphaned" snapshots..

Regards,

Erik

vCOps does not show orphaned snapshots. But it does show snapshot disk space that can be reclaimed based on how old it is : > 90 days, 180 days, 365 days.

Thanks for the reply.  That would be just as good.  Would you remind replying back with the steps I need to take to get to that area within vcops?

Hi Erik,
Out of curiosity, why are you looking for the total amount of disk space and not the individual files to remove, as well as the disk space they take up?
