I am looking at automating some of the VOPS reports by running some SQL against the VKernel database. Our layout is:

1)   1) Vops Version: 6.0, Build 120918.1924

2)   2) Back End DB: MS SQL Server 2008 SP3.

The report I want to get is generated by:

1) Go to Reporting/Charge Back, then Inventory/List View.

2) In Custom View, Select only Main\Power State, VM Name, Cluster, IS Template ALSO Memory\Memory Allocation (MB) ALSO Datastore\Storages Actual Usage (GB).

I can easily get Power State, VM Name, IS Template and Memory Allocation (MB) by doing a listing from the table vk_inventory_vm in SQL. But I am having trouble resolving the cluster name.

We currently have four clusters. There are three of them in one “connection id” and the last cluster in a separate “connection id”.

What I would like to do is to do the reporting on the individual cluster but I can’t seem to find the relationship between the individual VM and the cluster in the database.

I would appreciate any pointers in the right direction!

Best,

Sameer.
