Hi Luc,

i see two different values of datastore free space when viewed from webclient and powercli.

and drom web client

its showing inactive in webclient as space is full .while powercli showing diferent result.

could you suggest anything on above.

[LucD]

The value in the Web Client is refreshed at a certain interval.

The PowerCLI values are the values that vSphere uses internally. They should be the correct ones.

Does the value change when you hit the Refresh button in the Web Client?

[jvm2016]

no it does not when i refresh.

however $d.accessible is false in powercli which match with inactive in webclient.

[LucD · Accepted solution]

That seems to confirm what the API Reference states

First test the accessible property.

[jvm2016]

it is now showing correct free space in both powercli and webclient .

however when i started this thred it was not accesible also .

do yu support virtual volumes have you configured virtual volumes using powercli .somehow i think many datastores causes lot of manageability isues.

virtual volumes with SPBM can do better job compared to presenting hundreds of datastores to cluster.

not sure why no one is listening and implementing vvols.

I'm afraid I don't have a lot of experience with VVOLs :smileyblush:

And there are still some cmdlets missing to allow one to work fully with VVOLs and PowerCLI.
