I’ve wrote about this tool several times so most of you must have tested it by now and are probably actively using it: RVTools. Rob just notified me that he uploaded a brand new version of his tool. The following have been added to version 2.2:
- New vDatastore tab. The “vDatastore” tab displays for each datastore the name, connectivity status, file system type, number of virtual machines on the datastore, total capacity in MB’s, free capacity in MB’s, multiple host access indication and the url.
- Your custom defined fields are now visible on most of the tab-pages
- New menu option “export data to csv file”
- New “upgrade policy” field on vTools tab-page
- New “Sync time with host” field on vTools tab-page
- The field “OS” which is displayed on most of the tab-pages now displays the name of the guest OS according to the VMware Tools. In previous versions we used the configuration value. The vTools tab displays both “OS” fields.
Here’s a screenshot of the new tab “vDatastore”:
If you’ve never used RVTools before besure to check it out, it’s worth it. And if you are already using it download it and upgrade!

Works Great! Every tab but the datastores yields great info and works much better than the older version.. I still get an error on the datstore, it wants to continue or quit, but it’s not even a primary interest to me, so no big deal. I’ve already posted results to my group, which now needs to go do some cleanup that they’ve neglected based on info generated by this tool.

BTW, here is the data from the error

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Datastore tab works fine here… 🙂
