Monitor VMware 5.5 ESXi Storage vMotion Performance

vmotionvmware-esxivmware-vcenter

Is there any way to monitor the performance of a storage vmotion while it is in progress? I would like to see something like a kb/s number. Anything other than just the basic % complete number you see in the vSphere Client.

No, you'll just have to wait the process out in this case.

Monitoring VMware ESXi (free) vs. vSphere

I'm a VMware neophyte and I've never been able to understand the naming convention they use in relation to which "version" is which but I will tell you that I recently implemented VMware vSphere Hypervisor, which I believe is the new name for ESXi. It does not support SNMP without a purchased license. If you purchase one of the Essentials Kits you can enable SNMP, which is what I did just 2 weeks ago. Once we recieved our Essentials Kit license, I installed vCenter, added the license, added my hosts, and that was it. I then enabled and configured SNMP and I'm now able to manage the server hardware via DOMSA (Dell OpenManage Server Administrator) and recieve SNMP traps from the hosts via DITA (Dell IT Assistant).

I can't help you with RHEL but I can tell you that you can and need to license the hosts in order to enable SNMP on those hosts.
