Script to the list of virtual machines with their VMDK on warehouses of data with their LUN ID.

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))}}

  • PowerCLI Script to the list of virtual machines by their hosts

    Trying to find a simple script that will display a list of virtual to a CSV file and computers are that they currently host slot, but not lucky so far. Closer, I found is that of Alan Renouf below that lists the number of VMs per host, but not the actual names.

    Get-VMHost | Select @{N=“Cluster“; E={Get-Cluster -VMHost $_}}, Name, @{N=“NumVM“; E={($_ | Get-VM ). County}} | Sort Cluster, Name | Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation c:\clu-host-numvm.csv

    I'm sure it's something in the simple sense of get-vmhost | Get - vm, but should the listed host. Any ideas?

    Hello, Viewaskew-

    There is a property, VMHost, of computer virtual objects.  For example, you can use a Get - VM call forwarded to a Select-Object statement (then to Export-Csv), as:

    Get-VM | Select Name,VMHost | Export-Csv -Path c:\temp\VMsAndHostsInfo.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture

    Hi gurrus and LucD

    I'm looking for a Script that can list all virtual machines with type of NIC E1000 via the output of the CSV file.

    The script should search for information in a multiple Vcenter servers and multiple clusters and list all the VMs name, status (two powers on or off) with type card NETWORK Type E1000 only no other.

  • looking for a script to the list of virtual machines by datastore

    Someone at - it a script that lists each data store, then the virtual machines that are on it. Or maybe the list all virtual machines and data store or data warehouses is located in the virtual machine?

    Thank you

    This should do the trick for you.  In fact, it extends the computer object complete virtual with a property data store so you can still search the other aspects of the virtual machine.

    Get-Datastore. WHERE-object {$_.} {Name - like "DMX *"} | {ForEach-Object

    $dsname = $_. Name

    $_ | Get - VM | {ForEach-Object

    $($_ | Add - Member MemberType NoteProperty-name of store data-value $dsname - PassThru) | Select-object Name, host, Datastore

    }

  • List of virtual machines with static IP

    VMware gurus,

    I'm trying to generate a list of virtual machines that are configured with static IP address.

    IPPolicy: static

    I need a script that returns the name of the virtual machine that has static to IPpolicy.

    Jadapa RHCE, MCSA

    You can create a list of virtual machines with static IP addresses with the following script PowerCLI:

  • Create the list of virtual machines to exclude the script through .csv file?

    Hello

    I have a script that runs all day off hours to check my VMs respect some things, like having the option to 'VM tools upgrade policy' checked. The script will export a list of virtual machines that DO NOT have this option enabled and then later to fix the problem. Now, for some specific VMS, I don't want to have the option active and want to exclude them from this review. I try to add a list of these virtual machines I want to exclude from my check script of VMTools_UpgradePolicy via a .csv file containing their names. Here's what I have:

    ##############################################
    #VMTools update during the feeding cycle - report
    ##############################################
    function Report_VMTools_UpgradePolicy {}
    $list = import-Csv "C:\VMware\PowerCLI\Scripts\EXCLUDE LIST\EXCLUDE_vmtools_upgradepolicy.csv".
    foreach ($entry in $list) {$exclude = Get-VM-name $entry. Name}
    $vms = get - Vm | where {$_.} Name - not $exclude - and (Get-View-Id $_.) {ID). Config.Tools.ToolsUpgradePolicy - eq 'manual'} | Select name
    $vms | Export-Csv "C:\VMware\PowerCLI\Scripts\REPORTS\vmtools_upgradepolicy.csv" - NoTypeInformation
    }

    The content of the EXCLUDE_vmtools_upgradepolicy.csv is as follows:

    'Name '.
    "VM1.
    "VM2.

    "VM3.

    I try to get all the virtual machines in my environment who have the ToolsUpgradePolicy - eq 'manual' (unchecked), AND which do not match any of the names on my list of exclusions (VM1, VM2, VM3). My script so far will do what I want, except that only the last entry in my list of exclusions will take into account. VM1 and VM2 will still be reported as VMs that need to be addressed.

    I'm not sure that I am taking the right approach with this, I will continue to seek a solution for what I want, but any help would be appreciated! I prefer to make my list of exclusion to a separate file, for example "EXCLUDE_vmtools_upgradepolicy.csv", because I want that other administrators to be able to just open this .csv file and add virtual machines to this list without having to touch my scripts.

    Thank you!

    Vince

    Hi Vince,.

    It is like that I think because of your statement:

    foreach ($entry in $list) {$exclude = Get-VM-name $entry. Name} -> it
    $vms = get - Vm | where {$_.} Name - not $exclude - and (Get-View-Id $_.) {ID). Config.Tools.ToolsUpgradePolicy - eq 'manual'} | Select name
    $vms | Export-Csv "C:\VMware\PowerCLI\Scripts\REPORTS\vmtools_upgradepolicy.csv" - NoTypeInformation
    }

    $exclude is a variable that contains only 1 entry., that's why you see only the last element inside. It will not be an array.

    foreach ($entry in $list) {[string []]+ $exclude = Get-VM-name $entry.} Name}

    This will fill $exclude table with entries of string that will contain the names of virtual machine.

    And when you will be comparing. I think you should use

    where {$exclude - notcontains $_.} Name - and... the rest

    Kind regards

  • 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?

  • 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.csv

    The 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

  • 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?

    How import you a list of virtual machines to complete the table of virtual machines?

    At this moment we are manually by selecting the virtual machines and adding them to the table individually which is very tedious. We would simply import a list.

    There is a certain ways that you can do what you're trying to do, but from your description, it looks like a wrapper will work best.  I enclose a simple workflow that loads the table from a csv file.  There is no error checking going on, but it should help you get started and you can expand on it from there.

    You can do the following to list used by VM boot firmware

    Get - VM | Select Name,@{N='BootFirmware'; E={$_. ExtensionData.Config.Firmware}}

    Or to not see that those who use EFI, you could do

    Get - VM | where {$_.} ExtensionData.Config.Firmware - eq "efi"} | Select name
