• Provisioned IOPS (SSD): Highest-performance SSD volume designed for mission-critical applications. Best for critical business applications that require sustained IOPS performance, or more than 10,000 IOPS or 160 MiB/s of throughput per volume, such as large database workloads and EBS-optimized instances. The ratio of IOPS provisioned and the volume size requested can be a maximum of 50.
• Magnetic: Previous-generation Hard Disk Drive volumes for workloads where data is infrequently accessed. Not recommended for new applications.
• Throughput Optimized (HDD): Low-cost Hard Disk Drive volume designed for frequently accessed, throughput-intensive workloads. Best for streaming workloads requiring consistent, fast throughput at a low price, such as big data, data warehouses, and log processing. The minimum disk size for this type is 500 GB. It can't be a boot volume.

GCP disk types

• Standard Persistent Disk: Efficient and reliable block storage. Persistent disks are located independently from your virtual machine instances, so you can detach or move persistent disks to keep your data even after you delete your instances.
• SSD Persistent Disk: Fast and reliable block storage. Persistent disks are located independently from your virtual machine instances, so you can detach or move persistent disks to keep your data even after you delete your instances.
• Local SSD: High-performance local block storage. Local SSDs have higher throughput and lower latency than standard persistent disks or SSD persistent disks. The data that you store on a local SSD persists only until the instance is stopped or deleted.

The memory and CPU resources assigned to the VM.

For AWS, displays the instance's vCPU, memory and ECU (EC2 Compute Units).

The rightsizing group assigned to the VM

The VM's root device type; indicates where the root disk is stored. Values can be:

• Block storage (for Azure)
• EBS (for AWS)
• Instance Store (for AWS)
• Unknown

Public cloud only.

The running status of VMware Tools (for vCenter) or Guest Integration Services (for SCVMM).

vCenter and SCVMM only.

A comma-separated list of the security groups assigned when the instance was launched. A security group is a collection of firewall rules that restricts the network traffic for the instance.

AWS only.

The number of service requests for this VM.

The number of snapshots for the VM.

If the VM is part of an AWS stack, provides a hyperlink to the parent stack.

AWS only.

Indicates whether the VM is configured with static memory in SCVMM (Yes or No).

SCVMM only.

Provides details on failures for VMs in SCVMM cloud accounts. Allows you to search for VMs with specific failure states. With the exception of the OK status, VMs with any of these statuses will have the Power State "Failed". To find all VMs in the "Failed" state, search on the Power State property. See also Managing Service Power States. The statuses, which map to SCVMM states, can be one of the following:

• Checkpoint Failed
• Creation Failed
• Customization Failed
• Migration Failed
• OK
• P2V Creation Failed
• Replacement Failed
• Template Creation Failed
• Update Failed
• Unsupported
• Unsupported Cluster
• Unsupported Shared Files
• Update Failed
• V2V Creation Failed

SCVMM only.

Indicates whether the VM is in a Suspect state (Yes or No).

Indicates the tenancy model used by an EC2 instance:

• Default — The instance runs on shared hardware where the isolation is logical.
• Dedicated — The instance runs on single-tenant hardware where the isolation is physical.
• Host — The instance runs on a dedicated Host, which is an isolated server with configurations that you can control.
• Unknown — No tenancy information is available.

AWS only.

Properties are available for storage tiers 1 through 6, plus an Undefined Tier Usage (GB) property. If you have customized the storage tier labels, the customized labels are used.

These properties reflect total Provisioned Storage (GB), rather than Used Storage (GB), unless you have set an advanced system property. Contact support@snowsoftware.com for more information.

vCenter and SCVMM only.

Indicates whether a VM is a virtual machine or template.

The difference between the virtual disk space (VMDK) and the physical disk space.

If the VM hasn't been scanned, or if VMware Tools aren't installed on vCenter VMS, the value is unknown.

Notes:  

• For vCenter VMs, the property value is obtained from VMware Tools, if installed, for Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD VMs.
• VMware Tools values for this property may be inaccurate for Linux VMs with an XFS partition.

Disk space that's not divided into isolated sections.

For public cloud VMs, a value of Unknown is always displayed.

Notes:  

• For vCenter VMs, the property value is obtained from VMware Tools, if installed, for Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD VMs.
• VMware Tools values for this property may be inaccurate for Linux VMs with an XFS partition.

The time since the VM was last powered on. Uptime is reset when the VM is powered off, when the VM's power is reset, or when the VM is resumed from a suspended state. A Revert Snapshot event also resets the uptime value. If the snapshot is powered on, uptime is reset to the current time. If the snapshot is powered off, the VM is powered off.

Uptime values aren't affected by events such as a guest OS reboot, VMware Tools heartbeats and host and datastore migration.

For VMs that were powered on when the cloud account was added to Commander, uptime statistics are more accurate the further back in time you retrieve historical events.

Notes for vCenter VMs:

1) Commander uptime values don't depend on information retrieved from VMware, due to limitations in VMware's uptime calculations.

2) Uptime won't be reset to 0 for a VM that's reverted to a running snapshot while Commander is disconnected from the cloud account.

The total used storage, in GB, currently present in the VM's datastores, including all logs, snapshots, configuration files and other files.

For thin-provisioned disks, the current size of the files reflects the size of the data consumed by the VM, instead of the expected provisioned size. The difference between Provisioned Storage (GB) and Used Storage is significant for thin-provisioned disks.

Because additional files are created for snapshots, the number of snapshots affects this value.

The total expected size of all disks when they are fully provisioned. This value doesn't include swap memory, memory overhead space, or any other storage-related files.

The total size of all virtual disk-related files, including all logs, snapshots, configuration files and other files. For thick-provisioned disks, this value may be greater than the provisioned size. For thin-provisioned disks, the value may be less than the provisioned size.

Because additional files are created for snapshots, the number of snapshots affects this value.

The VM's parent vApp.

vCenter and Microsoft Azure only.

The version of VMware Tools (for vCenter) or Guest Integration Services (for SCVMM).

The version status of VMware Tools (for vCenter) or Guest Integration Services (for SCVMM).

If the VM is a vRouter providing fencing for VMs in a fenced network, indicates the vLAN number.

The name of the VPC (Virtual Private Cloud).

AWS only.
