Calculate physical storage vm's/backups in a cluster

[ErwinH]

Hi Forum members,

Is there an (easy) way to calculate the physical storage consumed by the vm's running on a cluster and the space consumed by the backups in that same cluster. I want to find out what the ratio is between physical VM data and backup data. This cluster performs both local backups and backups from a remote cluster. Any ideas?

Kind regards,
Erwin

Hello,

By running the command below on each of your Simplivity nodes, you will get details on the storage space used.

sudo su
source /var/tmp/buid/bin/appsetup
dsv-backup-size-estimate --node OmniStackVC-xx-xx-xxx-xx

OmniStackVC-xx-xx-xxx-xx = name of the omnistack vm

I hope this answers your question.

Calculate physical storage vm's/backups in a cluster -

Hi Forum members, Is there an (easy) way to calculate the physical storage consumed by the vm's running on a cluster and the space consumed by the backups in that same cluster.

A somewhat micro view:
1 - svt-backup-size-calculate (add --help to locate Options available for this command; this is per vm)
"Determines the unique data in a backup that represents the amount of physical storage space consumed exclusively by this vm/backup."

Somewhat a Macro view:
2 - dsv-balance-show (add --help to locate Options available for this command)
"Displays information about the recorded storage utilization of the HPE OmniStack hosts within a datacenter when resource balancing functionality (also referred to as intelligent VM placement) is enabled."

[Via GUI/vSphere provided below.]

I want to find out what the ratio is between physical VM data and backup data. This cluster performs both local backups and backups from a remote cluster.

zeus.sh --bal ratio [(<-Internal Tool used by support) Provides more details]
(Logical , Physical Calculations, Ratios & Percentages)

Within vSphere one will find the Cluster Space Summary which provides "Used Space"; "Free Space"; "Physical Space"; and the ratios for "Deduplication Ratios" & "Compression Space" as well as "Space Saved".

In that area if one selects "Details" they will be directed to "HPE SimpliVity Storage Efficiency" and will locate Logical Space broken down by "Local Backups"; "Remote Backups"; & "Virtual Machines" and the amounts that they consumes and well as their Efficiency.

Any ideas? Kind regards, Erwin - 5386673814
