Good introduction and concise explanation.
Hi David,
Do you know on some kind of a way to export VMware’s Guided Consolidation to a csv file ? or some other kind of report ?
Thanks a lot,
Yizhar
Hi Yizhar,
I don’t recall any reporting export options just the analysis that you see on the screen in the vSphere Client. I did check the Guided Consolidation documentation here-
http://pubs.vmware.com/vsp40u1_e/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm#href=admin/c_consolidating_the_datacenter.html#1_10_6_12_1
But I didn’t see any export option their either.
Wish I could help more. I would suggest posting this question in the VMware Community.
Thanks for visiting my blog!

Thank you very much David. I will continue to watch videos.
