Vmware Esx File System Stats

by Mar 14, 2007

Hi,

When monitoring ESX server's (2.5.x and 3.x) the File system capacity is not monitor the same way on those different version.

When monitoring a ESX 2.5.x we got on the Info – Disk/File System page :

  • / ==> /dev/sda2
  • /boot ==> /dev/sda1
  • /home ==> /dev/sda7
  • /var ==> /dev/sda6

And when monitoring a ESX 3.x we got on the Info – Disk/File System page :

  • /vmfs/volumes/452ded06-caa4d438-52d1-00137266f9e1 ==> /vmfs_prod
  • /vmfs/volumes/452ded08-8c5a7360-42de-00137266f9e1 ==> /vmfs_bck

Is there any way the agent can monitor VMFS volume on 2.5.x ?
Is there any way the agent can monitor the system File system on ESX 3.x ?
So both version of ESX can have all there file system check.

Best regard's.
