Measures reported by EsxVmDiskSpaceTest
This test auto-discovers the disk partitions in the virtual machines and reports statistics pertaining to the space usage of each disk partition on each VM, and across all disks on the VMs.
Outputs of the test : One set of results for every combination of virtual machine:disk partition.
The measures made by this test are as follows:
| Measurement |
Description |
Measurement Unit |
Interpretation |
| Total_capacity |
Indicates the total capacity of a disk partition.
For the Total descriptor, this measure reports the sum of the total capacity of all disk partitions. |
MB |
|
| Used_space |
Indicates the amount of space used in a disk partition.
For the Total descriptor, this measure reports the sum of space used across all disk partitions. |
MB |
|
| Free_space |
Indicates the current free space available for each disk partition of a system.
For the Total descriptor, this measure reports the sum of the unused space in all disk partitions. |
MB |
A high value is desired for this measure. |
| Percent_usage |
Indicates the percentage of space usage on each disk partition of a system.
For the Total descriptor, this measure reports the percentage of disk space used across all disk partitions. |
Percent |
A value close to 100% can indicate a potential problem situation where applications executing on the VM may not be able to write data to the disk partition(s) with very high usage. |
