I am currently using vROP 6.1 and I'm trying to put together a summary report (by cluster) showing total ovesized VM resources. I can easily produce a view showing the Total vCPUs Provisioned, Recommended, and Reclaimable for the cluster, but I would like to include the Total # of Oversized VMs (that are powered-on) as well. As far as I can see, there is no Cluster metric for the "Number of Oversized VMs".
I was able to create a super metric to count all VMs that are flagged as oversized ("Summary|Is Oversized") and apply that to the Cluster Compute Resource. This works fine, but I cannot figure out how to count the oversized VMs ONLY if they are powered on.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Edit the View and choose to "Filter" the output with your Super Metric.

Using the filter would work if the view was just getting a list of the VMs, but it is supposed to show the # of VMs (not the actual list of VMs. If there was a way to limit the number of VMs in the detail report (like TopN, but with details), I would show the top 20 or so per cluster. There is a report that details the oversized VMs, so this view was to be part of a Management report, which is why I was looking to provide some kind of summary.
Therefore, I have to have some kind of metric to just show the total number of "oversized" vms that are powered on. Below is a sample of what I was hoping to produce. The vCPU columns would need to be based on the oversized VMs. Haven't been able to figure any way to do this...
eg: Cluster Name Oversized VMs (Powered-On) vCPUs Provisioned vCPUs Reclaimable
Cluster1 65 250 130
Cluster2
...
Thanks
