The CB_FN_STORAGE_ALLOC_PAYG function returns the storage allocation details for all the virtual machines in a
given hierarchy in the Pay As You Go model. You must provide values for the following input parameters
when running the function:
n
hierarchy name: Name of the hierarchy for which the virtual machine details must be retrieved.
n
start time: The start time in the format YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss:mls.
n
end time: The end time in the format YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss:mls.
For example,
SELECT * from CB_FN_STORAGE_ALLOC_PAYG('Test Hierarchy', '2011-01-14 00:00:00.000', '2011-07-14
23:59:59.999');
The function returns values similar to the output of a SELECT query on the CB_VIEW_STORAGEALLOC_INVENTORY
database view. However, in this case the data for only a given hierarchy and for a specific duration is returned.
NOTE The CB_FN_STORAGE_ALLOC_PAYG function assumes that all the virtual machines in vCenter Chargeback
Manager under the Pay as You Go model for any hierarchy organization is present under Pay as You Go >
Any_OrgVDC > vApps Folder > vApps.
Running the Guest OS Licensing Script in Oracle
You must have the SELECT permission on the tables in the vCenter Chargeback Manager database to run the
guest OS licensing script.
On running the script, two database objects are created.
n
The CB_VIEW_STORAGEALLOC_INVENTORY database view.
n
The CB_FN_STORAGE_ALLOC_PAYG function.
The CB_VIEW_STORAGEALLOC_INVENTORY view contains the storage allocation details for all the virtual machines
that are part of any hierarchy created in vCenter Chargeback Manager. The CB_FN_STORAGE_ALLOC_PAYG function
returns the storage allocation details for all the virtual machines in the Pay As You Go model for a given
hierarchy ($hierarchy_name) and for the specified time period ($start_time : $end_time).
Table 8-3 lists the details of the columns in the CB_VIEW_STORAGEALLOC_INVENTORY database view. The
CB_FN_STORAGE_ALLOC_PAYG function returns values similar to the output of a SELECT query on the
CB_VIEW_STORAGEALLOC_INVENTORY database view. However, in this case the data for only a given hierarchy and
for a specific duration is returned
