This morning the Big Boss sent an email “There is something wrong, it’s slow, fix it.”

Yes, Sir, no problem Sir, absolutely Sir (you get the picture). Anyway, I know we could have problems, since we are moving around all VM’s to change basically everything from design to hardware, so I needed a fast way to find out on what server, what VM and why. The first thing that comes to mind is the most valuable thing you have in a virtualized platform and that is IOPS, so for a few servers that could be having issues I run this:

$ServerNames = "HOST01","HOST02","HOST03","HOST04"

foreach ($ServerName in $ServerNames)

{

Get-VM -ComputerName $ServerName -Verbose| Enable-VMResourceMetering -Verbose

Get-VM -ComputerName $ServerName | Measure-VM | select VMname,AggregatedAverageNormalizedIOPS,AggregatedAverageLatency,AggregatedDiskDataRead,AggregatedDiskDataWritten | ConvertTo-Html > "$ServerName.html" -Verbose

}
