This small but useful tool is a must have for any ESX 3.x/Virtual Center 2.x admin. It gives you easy access to tons of useful information about your virtual environment. How much disk space is available on what datastore, what virtual machines have snapshots, what virtual machines have the CDROM currently mounted, how many processors assigned to each VM, and a ton of other information with just the click of the mouse.

Interacting with VirtualCenter 2.x or ESX 3.x RVTools is able to list information about cpu, memory, disks, nics, cd-rom, floppy drives, snapshots, VMware tools, ESX hosts, datastores and health checks.
