Recently I quickly mentioned the universal PowerCLI applet Search-Cloud that can be used when dealing with vCloud Director. Howevery it seems you have to verify its output when using it to query Provider Vdc parameters. The output mixes the “allocation” and “used” counters for CPU, Memory and Storage as you can see in the example below (“used” is larger than “limit”).

$aPvdc = Search-Cloud -QueryType ProviderVdc;
$Pvdc = $aPvdc[0];
PS > $Pvdc.PropertyList

When you query the underlying PvDC with REST directly (or via vCO GUI) vCD returns correct results.

This issue was detected with PowerCLI version “VMware vSphere PowerCLI 5.1 Release 1 build 793510” (and vCloud version “VMware vCloud Director PowerCLI Component 1.5 build 793505”).
