Match each data store its Lun ID and the list of virtual machines in each data store
Hello
Can anyone help? I'm looking to create a report that will show each Monday name and store data to data warehouses, the list virtual machines belonging to the storage of data and the name of the VCenter at the top of the report. I tried several combinations but was more difficult to get the Monday. Any help appreciated gratefully.
Thank you
If you use only LUNS is an easy way to get the canonical name:
Get-datastore. {Select-Object Name,@{Name="CanonicalName"; expression = {$_.extensiondata.info.vmfs.extent.diskname}}
I don't understand your requirement regarding the name vCenter, but for everything else
Get-datastore. foreach {($MyDatastore = $_)} | Get - vm | Select-Object @{Name="Datastore";expression={$MyDatastore}},@{Name="CanonicalName";expression={$MyDatastore.extensiondata.info.vmfs.extent.diskname}},Name

Get the list of virtual machine names and addresses IP to a specific folder
I am trying to get a list of virtual machine names and the IP addresses of a specific folder in vCenter. The problem is that there are several files with the same name in different folders. I need to know how to specify the level folder higher in which lies the customer10 folder. Here is an example of my current script that pulls all the info from the virtual machine of all folders named customer10:
Get-vm-location customer10 | Select Address Name,@{N="IP." E = {@($_.guest.) (IPAddress[0])}} |
out-file c:\VM_IP_Addresses.csvThe PowerSHell engine is to 'know' the function before you call it.
Save the function in a .ps1 file.
Point source then this .ps1 file. Make sure that you are placed in the directory where the .ps1 is stored, or use the full path
PowerCLI C:\ >. ./GetFolderByPath.ps1
Note that there is an empty space between the 2 points!
Now you can call the function
PowerCLI C:\ > Get-FolderByPath-path MYDC/myFolder. Get - VM | Select the name...

I have problems to find a way to get a list of virtual machines on an ESX host specific and then he dumped to a .csv in the following format
I use the get-vmhost esxhostname | Get - vm
but everyhting else after, it is where I am lost... I think the closest I had been posting the output with a goofy header and format 'vm1, vm2, vm3 "...
name
computer 1 name
computer 2 name
name of the machine 3
to use for later use. Any help would be appreciated.
You must use the Select-Object cmdlet to specify more precisely the properties you want.
The Export-Csv doesn't know how to manage the virtual computer object.
Something like that
Get-vmhost esxhostname | Get - vm | Select name. Export Csv.\report.csv - NoTypeInformation - UseCulture

Script to stop and remove the list of virtual machines?
Hello
I would use powercli to stop and delete a list of virtual machines to a .csv file. Although not quite clear on how to do it, can someone help out me?
Hello, max08-
Simply use this CSV as a list of names of virtual machine to stop and delete permanently, you can do something like:
Import-Csv remove.csv | %{Stop-VM $_."Server Name" -Confirm:$false | Remove-VM -DeletePermanently -Confirm:$false -RunAsync}
Note, it is non-interactive once you run - he doesn't want to stop the virtual machines or remove the disc, it does just. So, make sure that the .csv file is only virtual computer names you really want to kill.
How does do for you?

The list of virtual machines, data warehouses and the folder name by cluster
Hello!! I hope someone can help me with a PowerCLI script that can pull the info from the object into a file, txt or csv. In order to get our environment cleaned before our next year Dr. with MRS, I want a list showing each VM and the data store (s) in that it is the name of the folder in the virtual computers view and models. We keep our VMs organized by creating folder names that correspond to the application running on the virtual machine. I mention a SRM than last year because our protected groups matched groups of our table of 3PAR Rcopy. However, we have added over 200 new virtual machines from this era and the members of my team essentially placed these new virtual machines on the first available data store that had enough free space. Unfortunately, we are not using storage profiles... it's scheduled for next year.Information extracted would look like the following:
ServerName Datastore folder name
Server1 LUN0 ActiveDirectory
Server2 LUN0 ActiveDirectory
Serveur3 LUN1 ActiveDirectory
Server4 LUN3 Argo
Server5 LUN7 Argo
LUN6 Lockbox Server6
LUN5 Lockbox Server7
Serveur8 LUN9 Citrix
etc...
Any help with the extraction of this info from vCenter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Charles
You can redirect the results to a CSV file, for example
Get-VM |Select Name,@{N="Datastore";E={[string]::Join(',',(Get-Datastore -Id $_.DatastoreIdList | Select -ExpandProperty Name))}},@{N="Folder";E={$_.Folder.Name}} |Export-Csv C:\report.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture

Hey gang - I have one here, I wonder if anyone has some ideas...
Our storage team is looking for a report that can be generated to display each VM, each VMDK for this virtual machine and the data store on the VMDK is the canonical name of the data store - and throw in a delimited file of semicolon for their own transformation...
I have thousands of VMS over hundreds of hosts and data warehouses and also have a handful of RDM. so, I'm looking for the most effective way to go about it.
Should look like this:
VMName; VMDKName, the data store; MONDAY
somevm; somevm.vmdk; DATASTORE1; NAA.60050723145982asd29823blahblah1
somevm; somevm_1.vmdk; DATASTORE2; NAA.60050723145982asd29823blahblah2
Any ideas?
The following PowerCLI script will give you the report requested on the virtual machines and their VMDK files. It also takes account of the fact that a data store can have several extensions:
Get-VM | Get-HardDisk | Select-Object -Property @{N="VM";E={$_.Parent}}, @{N="VMDK";E={$_.FileName.Split('/')[1]}}, @{N="Datastore";E={$_.FileName.Split(']')[0].TrimStart('[')}}, @{N="LunID";E={[string]::Join(',',((Get-Datastore $_.FileName.Split(']')[0].TrimStart('[')).Extensiondata.Info.Vmfs.Extent | Select-Object -ExpandProperty DiskName))}}

Get the list of virtual machines, storage of data and VMDK / path by cluster
Hi people,
as I m new to such things, I m wondering if someone already has a few scripts work to gather a list of all virtual machines, its corresponding data store (s) and the path to the files VMDK (or at least the name of it) - I know that this part has already been resolved - found a couple of them ;-)
But my problem is, I need this script drilled down by Cluster Edition or Datacenter Edition. As I said I m completely new for this CLI stuff and Don t have any idea how to solve this problem...
See you soon
Markus
Luke, you are right. I should have tested.
There is a downside to the ForEach command that I almost never use. Normally I use the Foreach-Object cmdlet and that works very well with pipeing the output to Export-CSV.
Markus, you must use option 2 in this case.

I'm trying to get a list of the virtual machines running on an ESX host specific, but also are located in a specific folder.
I think it must be something like that below, but for now without success:
Get-vmhost $esx_hostname | Get-vm-location (get-record $folder_name( )giving the error message: Get - VM: the input object cannot be bound to all the settings for the command EIThim becausethe command does not pipeline or entry and its own input stakeholders do not match any parameters that accept entries of pipeline of.Any thoughts?Thank you!EricVMHost and folder use the Get-VM-setting position. You must select either using the Where-Object cmdlet filter. For example:
Get-VMHost $esx_hostname | Get-VM | Where-Object {$_.Folder.Name -eq $folder_name}

In the Photos of El Capitan how to record a double published in a separate with its own name and the ID file file?
Only by exporting - with Photos (and iPhoto and Aperture) - you can have several versions of an image by duplicating the image (control - D), but this does not create an image file separated until you export - it creates a separate edit list in the database that applies to the original when you watch or export the photos
Photos as it were its predecessors is a non-destructive control Digital Asset Manager (DAM) which does not any changes to files in the database but built a list of validation

Not possible to export a list of virtual machines that are created in the past 7, 30, 120 and 180 days since an imported csv file containing the date of creation of virtual machine. My questions is the correct statement to the variable: $VmCreated7DaysAgo: $_CreatedOn "-lt" $CDate7.
# #SCRIPT_START
$file = "C:\Users\Admin\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\08-18-2014\VM-Repo.csv".
$Import = import-csv $file
$VMCreatedLast7RDayRepoFile = "C:\Users\Admin\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\08-18-2014\Last7Days.csv".
$start7 = (get-Date). AddMonths(-1)
$CDate7 = $start7. ToString('MM/dd/yyyy')
$VmCreated7DaysAgo = $Import | Select-object - property name, Powerstate, vCenter, VMHost, Cluster, file, Application, CreatedBy, CreatedOn, NumCpu, MemoryGB | Where-Object {$_.} CreatedOn - lt $CDate7} | Sort-Object CreatedOn
$TotalVmCreated7DaysAgo = $VmCreated7DaysAgo.count
$VmCreated7DaysAgo | Export-Csv-path $VMCreatedLast7RDayRepoFile - NoTypeInformation - UseCulture
Write-Host "$TotalVmCreated7DaysAgo VMs created in 7 days" - BackgroundColor Magenta
Invoke-Item $VMCreatedLast7RDayRepoFile
# #SCRIPT_END
You can use the New-Timespan cmdlet in the Where clause, it returns the time difference between 2 DateTime objects.
An example of this cmdley
New-TimeSpan-start (Get-Date). AddDays(-7)-end (Get-Date). Select days - ExpandProperty
In your case, you could do
Where {(New Timespan-démarrer ([DateTime] $_.))} CreatedOn) - end $start7). {7 days - gt}
But beware of negative numbers.

Newbie question: list the Configuration of virtual machines and data warehouses
Hello
I'm new on using powercli how to list all virtual machines in a certain data center, their memory, Procs and what data warehouses they are on.
I know you can use get - vm | Select-object name, NumCPU MemoryMB but if I add DatastoreIdList as well, it doesn't seem to work. What Miss me
Thank you very much
Laurence
That's right, you could do
Get-VM MyVM | Select Name,@{N="DS";E={[string]::join(',',($_.datastoreidlist|%{(Get-View -Id $_).Name}))}},Description | Export-Csv "C:\test.csv" -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
Just look at whether the separator for CSV is be a comma in your culture, you probably need to adjust the separator in the Join method!

HELP - how to get the number of virtual machines on a data store?
Looking at the inventory of the data store in the VI client, there are a "number of Virtual Machines:" according to the General information for the Summary tab... I'm looking for a script that retrieves this information for me...
I started the script but I'm stuck... I am very new on this...
Get-Datastore. WHERE-object {$_ .name - like "wlp" ' "} #this gives me all the data which are not local warehouses
Could someone give an overview on how to script to retrieve the number of virtual machines on data warehouses...
Thank you, Lee
Sorry, something went wrong with the copy - paste
Get-Datastore | where {$_.Name -like "vmfs*"} | Sort-Object -Property Name | %{$_ | select @{N="DSname"; E={$_.Name}}, @{N="VMcount";E={($_ | Get-VM | Measure-Object).count}}}

List of virtual machines in data warehouses
Hi all
I want to list all virtual machines in warehouses of data starting with "MDF". I tried
Get - VM - Datastore (Get-Datastore-name MDF *) | Select-object - property name, data store > VMplusdatastore.txt
But it does not list the names of data store for a reason any?
Also some VM will have records on more than a logic unit number - I suppose that it is not translated here?
Wouldn't be better to do the opposite?
Hi Simon,.
the problem with your script is that the virtual computer object does not have a property data store. That is why the data column store is empty in the output. The following script will combine virtual machine names and the data store for all with names beginning with MDF data warehouses:
Get-Datastore -Name MDF* | ForEach-Object { $Datastore = $_ $Datastore | Get-VM | ForEach-Object { $Report = "" | Select-Object -property Name, Datastore $Report.Name = $_.Name $Report.Datastore = $Datastore.name $Report } } > VMplusdatastore.txt
If a virtual machine disks on multiple data stores, it will display all the combinations.
Best regards, Robert

Help to get a list of virtual machines with switch network and name
I'm trying to get a simple list of virtual machines on a single host and include their name and networkname.
When I run this Get - vm | where {$_.} $host.name - eq "ESX.local"}, I get the virtual machines with their name. When I run this Get-networkadapter - vm Get - vm | where {$_.} $host.name - eq "ESX.local"} I download news network with the name of the network, which is what im after. " I want to combine these 2 commands and get vm name and network name in a csv. The network name is the Group of ports, the VM is affected change settings for example, it could be vlan10 or what you named your group of ports in the switch DV. I've attached a screenshot of the orders successfully.
Hello, brisketx-
You could do a little more efficiently by getting first the VMHost (s) that are of interest, then get their virtual machines and then using a computed property for the names of network for virtual machines. As:
Get-VMHost esx.local | Get-VM | Select-Object Name, @{n="NetworkName"; e={(Get-NetworkAdapter -VM $_ | %{$_.NetworkName}) -join ","}}
You can then, of course, lead to Export-Csv to write the data to a CSV file. How does do for you?

vCenter roles and privileges to migrate virtual machines
I created a custom role named 'Build VMs' that I have assigned to an ad group. This role is assigned in the data centers, all spread and no. folder where elsewhere. The role was designed to allow a specific group of users to manage virtual machines (create, move, delete, but not clone, etc.).
For the most part, it works fine, but I have a problem: they cannot migrate powered off VMs. vMotion is available and works, but I need to move a cluster virtual machines to a different (more old hw & 3.5 to new hw & 4.1).
The role has the following privileges:
