Storage counters at higher levels

As you might expect by now, vCenter does not provide information for storage at this level, but vRealize Operations does. The following table lists the key counters. Except for the World object, the rest of the objects provide all the counters. Notice that their values include local datastores. If you want to exclude the local datastores, create a group.

The Workload (%) counter is easier for the operations team, as it uses percentage rather than raw data. For example, if you have 20 vCenter Servers and they show different KBPS numbers, it is difficult to understand at a glance the significance of that value—is it higher, lower or the same as last time? If you use the 0-100 range as a percentage, you can color code the range to help the operations team.
