How can I get storage utilization counters value from a virtual center?

[tqll]

I need get storage utilization counters value from a virtual center.

Since these counters populated every 30 min, I use 60*30 as the last parameter of method queryAvailablePerfMetric, intervalId. Once I call queryAvailablePerfMetric, I got the following error messages.

pm of the following code is a PerformanceManager

Below is my code.

_calendarDSEnd = _calendarHost;

calendarDSStart = (Calendar)calendarDSEnd.clone();

_calendarDSStart.add(Calendar.SECOND, - 60*30);

PerfMetricId[] metricId_datastores = pm.queryAvailablePerfMetric(me_ds[d], _calendarPerfStart, _calendarPerfEnd, 60*30);

Thank you

Hi,

I believe that you are calling the API in an incorrect way. Instead it should be:

PerfMetricId[] ids = _service.queryAvailablePerfMetric(perfRef, morRef, null, null, new Integer(60*30));

where:

- _service - is the object of the VimPortType which is a Vim interface,through which every API is called.

- perfRef - is the managedobjectreference for the performance namager

- morRef - is the managed object of which you are trying to retreive the performance counters

instead of the two null values, you can explicitly pass the start and end time (the way you have specified in your code)

For further clarifications, please refer to samples shipped with the vSphere SDK package.

Hi

I tried the API

PerfMetricId[] ids = vimPort.queryAvailablePerfMetric(mor_pm,

mor_ds,_calendarPerfStart, _calendarPerfEnd, new Integer(60*30));

Where:

vimPort =

(VimPortType)_mm.getConVmware().getServerConnection().getVimService();

mor_pm is a managedobjectreference for the performance namager

mor_ds is a managedobjectreference for the Datastore.

But I get same error as before.
