Stats differ for vda "pool-show" vs. "pool-desktops"

Question

Hi,
has anyone seen this before? Sun VDI 3.1 connected to a vCenter infrastructure. vda pool-show shows a different number of desktops (145) compared to vda pool-desktops (101)? Judging from the VMs in vCenter vda pool-show seems to be correct, but why would pool-desktops differ?
# vda pool-show POOL
  Assignment Status: Enabled
Desktop Assignments: personal
   Desktop Provider: POD1
            Cloning: Enabled
       Cloning Jobs: 0
           Template: TEST
Available Desktops: 9
  Assigned Desktops: 136
     Total Desktops: 145
# vda pool-desktops -x POOL | wc -l
     101Sebastian

Answer 1

Opened a support case, turned out to be a known limitation for the command line tools. 'vda pool-desktops' limits it output to 101 items for performance reasons (but unfortunately doesn't say so). A workaround is to gather the data directly from the database. In our case we needed to obtain the desktop -> user assignments for a specific pool, which we did with the follwing bash/SQL snippet.
#!/bin/bash
[ $# -eq 1 ] || { echo 'Pool name required'; exit 1; }
POOL=$1
/opt/SUNWvda/mysql/bin/mysql --defaults-file=/etc/opt/SUNWvda/my.cnf -N -p vda <<EOM
select d.name, d.state, u.distinguished_name
  from t_desktop as d, t_poolclient as u, t_pool as p
  where p.name = "$POOL" and p.id = d.pool_id and d.pool_client_id = u.id
  order by d.name;
select d.name, d.state
  from t_desktop as d, t_pool as p
  where p.name = "$POOL" and p.id = d.pool_id and d.state='available'
  order by name;
EOMThe second SQL query (for the available desktops) might be merged into the first one, I am not much of a SQL guy though.
