RVTools is getting more and more the attention and appreciation it deserves. This also means that more and more people are emailing Rob with all kinds of feature requests. Version 2.3 contains a couple bug fixes and a couple of cool new additions:
- New vHost tab. The “vHost” tab displays for each host the name, datacenter name, cluster name, CPU model, CPU speed, number of CPU’s, CPU usage %, total amount of memory, memory usage %, memory reserved for the service console, number of NIC’s, number of HBA’s, number of VM’s running on this host and the ESX version of this host.
- All tab pages (except the datastore tab) now also display the datacenter name and cluster name.
- New VMFS “Block size”, “Max Blocks”, “Number of extents”, “Major Version number”, “Version string” and “VMFS upgradeable” fields on the vStorage tab.
- New “Virtual machine version string” field on the vInfo tab page.
- Divide by zero bug on vDatastore tab is now fixed.
- The vInfo fields “upgrade policy” and “Sync.time with host” which where introduced in version 2.2 caused some problems in combination with the 2.0 version of the VI API. This is now fixed!
Now head over to Rob’s website and download the new version. Don’t forget to give Rob feedback!
