You can use the vSphere Client and the esxcli command to review the capacity of the PMem datastore and some of its other attributes.
However, unlike regular datastores, such as VMFS or vVol, the PMem datastore does not appear in the Datastores view of the vSphere Client. Regular datastore administrative tasks do not apply to it.
Procedure
- ♦ Review PMem datastore information.
Option Description vSphere Client - Navigate to the ESXi host and click Summary.
- In the Hardware panel, verify that Persistent Memory is displayed and review its capacity.
esxcli command Use the esxcli storage filesystem list to list the PMem datastore.
Example: Viewing the PMem Datastore
The following sample output appears when you use the esxcli storage filesystem list command to list the datastore.
# esxcli storage filesystem list Mount Point Volume Name UUID Mounted Type Size Free ---------------------- ---------------- ------------- -------- ------- ------------ ------------ /vmfs/volumes/5xxx... ds01-102 5xxx... true VMFS-6 14227079168 12718178304 /vmfs/volumes/59ex... ds02-102 59ex... true VMFS-6 21206401024 19697500160 /vmfs/volumes/59bx... 59bx... true vfat 4293591040 4274847744 /vmfs/volumes/pmem:5ax...
