Chargeback in Cluster and Virtualization Environments
In a cluster environment, if multiple hosts share a LUN, only one host will be charged.
In virtualization environments, all VMs share the same capacity from the ESX server, so this function will return an estimation (calculated) for each LUN and for the ESX server, it will return the total capacity of the LUN.
The following example shows the ESX server last in the list.
Host Name | LUN ID | Capacity |
HQmkting1 | 133200 | 20 |
HQsales1 | 133200 | 10 |
HQfinance1 | 133200 | 10 |
HQesx10 | 133200 | 510 |
