The legend for thin provisioning is as follows:
• Used Space is the actual amount of space used.
• Free is the physical amount of storage still available.
• Overcommitted is how much storage is committed above the physical
storage available.
• Thin provisioning percent is the percentage of over commitment above
the physical storage.
Configuring VMware
VMware VC Instances can be monitored from any Storage Manager agent.
A VMware VC Instance can discover the ESX Servers connected to virtual
center.
IMPORTANT: Configuring Storage Manager to monitor your virtual infrastructure
is a two step process.
• First, Storage Manager must connect to the VC instance and discover all
the ESX hosts it is managing.
• Second, you must select which ESX hosts to monitor. Discovery can
take a few minutes in large environments.
Requirements
The following items are required before you begin:
• A Storage Manager agent located on the same network as the VC
instance
• Login credentials to the VC Instance.
