Rob de Veij has just uploaded a new version of RVTools, 2.7.1. So far over RVTools has been downloaded over 25000 times. Yes 25000 times, that is a lot isn’t it. There’s a good reason though that it is popular. It is easy to use and gives you all the details you are looking for.
Version 2.7.1 contains the following new features and bug fixes:
- RVTools now reports storage which is wasted by zombie VMs, VMDKs, templates and snapshots. You can find this information on the vHealth tab page. If you guys pay me a dime for every gigabyte of wasted storage, found by RVTools, you will make me rich.
- Due to the fact that the search all datastores task can take a long time to complete, RVTools now use a separate thread to collect this information.
- The default percentage value of “free datastore capacity” is changed from 10% to 15%.
- Bug fix! If a snapshot is more than two levels deep, only the first two are visible. With the input from Mike Price this problem is now solved! Thanks again Mike.
The full releasenotes can be found here. I guess that’s enough for today, just download it!
