vVols reports display detailed information about VMware Virtual Volumes (vVols) datastores and the virtual machines that are created on these datastores. The vVols dashboard enables you to review and identify potential issues with the vVols datastores and virtual machines in your vCenter Server.

You can view, organize, and export reports. The data for the vVols datastores and virtual machines report is provided by the ONTAP along with OnCommand API Services.

vVols provides the following pre-canned reports:

  • vVols Datastore Report

  • vVols VM Report

vVols Datastore Report

+ The vVols Datastore Report menu provides information about the following parameters for datastores:

  • vVols datastore name

  • Free space

  • Used space

  • Total space

  • Percentage of space utilized

  • Percentage of space available

  • IOPS

  • Latency Performance metrics are available for NFS based vVols datastores on ONTAP 9.8 and later. You can also verify the time at which the report was generated. The vVols Datastore Report menu enables you to organize the report as per your requirement, and then export the organized report by using the Export to CSV button. Each SAN vVols datastore name in the report is a link that navigates to the Monitor tab of the selected SAN vVols datastore, which you can use to view the performance metrics.

  • Uptime

  • IOPS

  • Throughput

    The report displays whether the virtual machine is powered on or powered off.

  • Logical space

  • Host

  • Power state

  • Latency

    The report displays the latency for virtual machines across all of the vVols datastores that are associated with the virtual machines.

Each virtual machine name in the report is a link to the Monitor tab of the selected virtual machine.
