RVTools: Version 2.5 Released

Rob de Veij has released a brand new version of RVTools.

These are the new features:

• The installation file now understands how to upgrade without the need to uninstall the previous version first.

• The documentation file is now also deployed to the program directory. You can start the Adobe reader from the RVtools “help” menu.

• New fields on vInfo tab: Network #1 to Network #4

• New fields on vDisk tab: Level, Shares, SCSI Controller, Unit id and vmdk path name. I’m now using the “config.hardware” information to fill this tab page. In the previous versions of the program I was using the guest information which have a strong dependency with the VMware tools.

• New fields on vNetwork tab: Adapter type and Mac Address type. I’m now using the “config.hardware” information to fill this tab page. In the previous versions of the program I was using the guest information which have a strong dependency with the VMware tools.

• New field on vHost tab: Number of VMs per core

• New tab! vHealth. Displays health check messages. There are 8 possible “Health Check” messages:

  1. VM has a CDROM device connected!

  2. VM has a Floppy device connected!

  3. VM has an active snapshot!

  4. VMware tools are out of date, not running or not installed!

  5. On disk xx is yy% disk space available! The threshold value is zz%

  6. On datastore xx is yy% disk space available! The threshold value is zz%

  7. There are xx VMs active per core on this host. The threshold value is zz

  8. There are xx VMs active on this datastore. The threshold value is zz

• You can set your “own” health check threshold values in the “Health Check Properties” form.
