Script ran and listed the VMs but the hexLUN0 field = 0 for all vm’s and the rest of the hexLUN# fields are blank. The disks that aren’t listing properly are physical compatibility mode RDM drives….

Any ideas?

Great post, I was trying to write my own script to do just this.

Thanks.

Hi Hugo,

Could you give me an example of an outer loop to get the cluster that each VM is connected to. For some reason my loop doesn’t end.

Thanks!

Going off of the Question from Hugo on 1/27, is there a way to give the “used” space of the guest’s VMDK? I’m trying to monitor the growth on a differential disk of link-cloned VDI guests.

@Ejire
Try this script:

Hi Hugo,
I also wish I can get a field value from the Disk path or disk drive letter, do you know if it is possible ?

Thanks

@Michael
I use “$myObj = “” | Select Name, Etc” to create custom objects to hold the output of my scripts. Read more here: http://www.peetersonline.nl/?s=advice
You could add an outer loop doing ForEach ($Datacenter in Get-datacenter){…} and add a property named $myObj.Datacenter with the value $Datacenter.Name.
Read some of the scripts on my site to get some feeling on how this works.

Hi Hugo,

firstly, a great script! Can I also add a column for the datacenter? I am also new with powershell and scripting in general and I didn’t find anything about $myObj.* and the “Select” part in your script.
Thanks.
