VMware - vCenter view of VMs - what host they are on | Archive

Within the interface there is a nice long view of VMs when you are looking at a vCenter system and are within the Virtual Machines datasource.I assume the data is gathered already but it would be awesome if there was a dynamic update for the VM to know what host it is on as part of the display of that datasource.Instead of:dns01.dufus.devdns02.dufus.devdns01.dufus.proddns02.dufus.prodHow about:dns01.dufus.dev (host01.cluster01.lcl)dns02.dufus.dev (host02.cluster01.lcl)dns01.dufus.prod (host01.cluster01.lcl)dns02.dufus.prod (host03.cluster01.lcl)This would make further diagnosis easier as you jump around from vCenter to a host. When clusters are 8-20 hosts in size it can take a while to figure out where that guest lives and this would shorten that time quite a bit.
