Need a powershell script to collect info patch esx

Hello

IAM looking for a powershell script that collects the result of "motion esxupdate" for all versions of esx host 3.5 in the Virtual center 2.5 version and exports to CSV file.

It should take input as virtual Center and collect all the information of ESX host, connect to esx hosts, run the esxupdate query and update of the CSV with results.

I got the code base of other scripts. I've pasted below. He collects only results for esx server in view of the need to modify the code for the above requirements.

-


$servers = "server0″", server1″

$account = "root".

$password = "password".

$servers | % {$a = plink - pw $password $account@$_ "esxupdate query"

{$server = $_}

-


Thanks in advance!

Have you tried running the script in the powershell console?

May be a problem with the vesi script editor.

  • Need a powershell script to gather information from ESX host

    Hello

    I need a powershell script to collect the below given information host ESX to the Virtual Center. My VC:2.5 of the environment, the ESX hosts: 2.5, 3, 3.5

    At present I have individual powershell scripts of a steamer to get these details. Would be more useful to have a single script. I tried VESI, but does not receive the report in the below in the format.

    | ESX host name Version | Number | construction | manufacturer Model | Processor type | Number of physical CPUS | Number of cores | VMotion service IP Console IP | | County HBA | Physical NETWORK interface cards count

    Thanks in advance!

    So I'm at my wits end here.

    It works for me and Robert also confirmed that it worked for him.

    Although I don't see why this would solve the problem, you could finally try an upgrade to PowerShell v2 RTM.

  • Need to powershell script to gather the host ESX Info network

    Hello

    I need two scripts powershell to collect two types of information about the ESX host network.

    1. information vNIC -& gt; information on the vmnic (physical ESX host network adapter) connected to vSwitches.

    vNIC | VSwitch model | | Trade | Speed | Status | | PCI slot Active/stand-by/not assigned

    (Example) output expected:

    vmnic0 | intel corporation 82XXXX gigabit ethernet controller | vSwitch0 | service console, vMotion | 1000mbps Full | up 01:01.00 | | Assets

    2. Portgroup information

    PortGroup | vNIC (s) with active / standby |  PCI slot of vNIC (s) with active / standby | Physical switch with port number

    Expected results (example):

    Service console | vmnic0 (a) : (s) | 01 vmnic1: 00. 00 (a) : 02:00. 00 (s) | abcd-123 [GigabitEthernet10/10] : xyzf-7890 [Gigabitethernet11/11]

  • Need a PowerShell script to...

    Hi, I need a PowerShell script to list all the virtual machine from the center of data-list for each virtual computer all drives and formats the disc and the disc type and a free column for comments.

    Move us the backup platforms and try to develop a plan of migration for all virtual machines

    See you soon

    Looks like you are using an older version of PowerCLI, the CapacityGB was introduced in one of the previous PowerCLI builds.

    Try to upgrade.

    If an upgrade is not possible, you can do

    Get-Datacenter -Name MyDC | Get-VM | Sort-Object -Property Name |Get-HardDisk | Select @{N="VM";E={$_.Parent.Name}},Name,@{N="CapacityGB";E={[int]($_.CapacityKB/1MB)}},@{N="Type";E={[string]::Join('/',($_.DiskType,$_.StorageFormat,$_.Persistence))}},@{N="Comment";E={' '*25}} |Export-Csv C:\HD-report.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
    

    It also sorts the VM on their Name property.

    It should be
