Can mbrscan check a powered-on VM? I know it needs to be off to remediate; at this time I only need to *identify* the misaligned VMs.
I can't see guest VM alignment from the VSC GUI because old version. :-/
If you can use powershell.. I would try the below links.
Here is one for hyperV http://community.netapp.com/t5/Virtualization-and-Cloud-Articles-and-Resourc...
May want to check out the word doc. http://community.netapp.com/t5/Virtualization-and-Cloud-Articles-and-Resourc...

If Windows, I've as a client side approach I've used "wmic partition get StartingOffset" to identify the culprits. (Which works regardless of whether they're VMs)
Works remotely with the '/NODE:<servername>' flag.

Is there a reason you are not using a newer version of VSC? Just curious as to why.

Customer installation. I'd like to see them update their entire environment. Money and politics... The 8th and 9th layers of the ISO model.

NFS datastores by chance? Verify this against the man pages, but I'm pretty sure 'nfsstat -d' will show VMDK's that are showing misalignment.

All block. I’m not seeing much VMware on NFS lately. I think it was more popular in Europe.

Yes,
Download mbrscan - we run a daily report on all vmdk alignment status on NFS datastores
