Datastore Actual Usage incorrect

[mgen50]

The datastore actual usage is being reported incorrectly. In ManageIQ I see the following:

In SCVMM if I look at the disk allocated field, that VM is reporting 74 GB.

My base disk is thin to begin with so the actual usage shown under Disks should not be reported as 50GB but rather the real value on disk (if this info is available to get in SCVMM)

I don't know if it's related but the vmware-provider seems to have a similar issue ManageIQ/manageiq-providers-vmware#98. The Snapshots field also reporting a wrong value (always 0 no matter how many snapshot we have).

I don't know if someone have a workaround to get the information right.

Thanks,

@mgen50 When I look at what SCVMM is showing me under the "Storage" tab and look at "Total Capacity" and "Available Capacity" for a VM versus what ManageIQ is showing me, the values appear to line up.

Can you please take a snapshot from SCVMM that shows the VM in question versus what you're seeing in ManageIQ? Perhaps you're expecting a different property?

Hi @djberg96,

In SCVMM I see this in the VMs and Services view:

If I check the properties of the vm and look at the hard drive, I see this

I don't understand why the currently expanded thing says only 0.01GB though since I see it's using about 36GB on disk when i verify manually.

This VM has checkpoints so if i check the properties on the checkpoint and look at the disk usage there, I see something more along the lines of what i expect to see:

I think what's happening is that when there's a checkpoint, under the hardware config section the value showing for drive space is nonsense and the real values are coming from the same section under the properties of the checkpoint (which might explain that 4MB value in my original post)

Under the properties view for the vm, my storage section doesn't have anything

I also have a similar issue with vmware and it seems to be pretty close to the issue Lhuk pointed out.

@agrare Any thoughts on this? I never had time to dig into it.

This looks like it is correct when there aren't any checkpoints on the VM, I still have to test with a VM that has a checkpoint

@agrare should this issue remain open. If yes, can you remove the stale label. Otherwise please close the issue. If there's no update by next week, I'll be closing this issue.

Is there a fix to this? or any workaround?
