πŸ—‘οΈZombie Files β€” By Datastore
Zombie files are orphaned VMDKs and VM config files with no owning VM in vCenter inventory. RVTools detects them by path but cannot report individual file sizes because they are not attached to any VM. Sizes require manual inspection via the vCenter Datastore Browser or du from an ESXi shell. The datastore free space shown below indicates the available headroom on each affected datastore.

Disk Controller: VMware Paravirtual SCSI delivers significantly higher throughput and lower CPU overhead than LSI Logic. Migrating requires a VM reboot and VMware Tools installed. Thin provisioning allows datastores to be better utilised β€” thick disks reserve full capacity immediately regardless of actual use.

Capacity projections are based on current allocation trends. VM growth rate uses your actual creation dates from tabvInfo.csv. Datastore fill rate assumes 2% consumed per month. Cluster limits use 8:1 vCPU/core and 1:1 vRAM/pRAM safe thresholds.

Thin Provisioning Overcommit Risk β€” Thin provisioning lets VMs reserve more space than physically exists, assuming not all VMs use their full allocation simultaneously. When actual writes exceed physical capacity, the datastore fills instantly causing VM crashes. The global overcommit ratio across your environment is β€”.
