Re: [vmktree] I want these Hypervisor Vmware details

Hi tmss,
In VMware terminology we're not normally using the term "domain", but
virtual machine or virtual world. A virtual machine is not the same as a
virtual world, as a virtual world (or "helper world") also can have a
have a task such as virtual network switch or similar. I'll try
answering your questions:

1. For vmktree, the virtualization product is (currently) always VMware.
2. The number of virtual machines with a green indicator.
3. This depends on what type of VMs you're running and their workload.
VMware Server supports 64 virtual cpus, and ESX supports 128 virtual
cpus (in ver 3, 80 in ver 2).
4. Not sure what you're meaning here..
5. This info is already there.
6. I think I've already told you about the different alternatives to get
such data in the previous threads here, and also recently on VMTN:
http://communities.vmware.com/thread/134986
http://communities.vmware.com/thread/134013

Thanks for your patience.

Lars
