Description |
Measurement Unit |
Interpretation |
| Total_capacity |
Indicates the total capacity of this NFS datastore. |
MB |
|
| Used_space |
Indicates the amount of space that is already utilized in this NFS datastore. |
MB |
Ideally, the value of this measure should be low. If this value grows close to that of the Total_capacity measure, then you may consider adding more storage to the datastore, or free up the space in the datastore by deleting unnecessary data. |
| Free_space |
Indicates the amount of space that is currently available for use in this NFS datastore. |
MB |
A high value is desired for this measure. A sharp/consistent decrease in the value of this measure is an indication for the administrators to add more free space to the datastore before the datastore runs out of free space.
Sometimes, the value of this measure may be 0 which indicates that the datastore is currently unavailable. In such cases, the VMs that are currently using that datastore could be rendered inaccessible to users. |
| Percent_usage |
Indicates the percentage of space that is already utilized in this NFS datastore. |
Percent |
A value close to 100% indicates the administrator that the datastore is currently running out of space. |
