Hi Hugo,

Great script, I was a little confused on one of my outputs because there were several vmhba devices denoted across the ESXhosts. It is simple to figure out the ones that have 1 vmhba denoted and the rest saying true or false but having more than one has confused me. Can you help to decipher this?

LunUuid ESX001.xxx ESX002.xxx ESX003.xxx ESX005.xxx ESX011.xxx ESX020.xxx
0200010000600508b400106b3400009000020c0000485356323130 vmhba0:4:1 vmhba0:2:1 vmhba0:4:1 vmhba0:1:1 False vmhba0:2:1
0200020000600508b400106b3400009000020c0000485356323130 False False False False vmhba0:4:2 False
0200020000600508b400106b340000900002110000485356323130 vmhba0:4:2 vmhba0:2:2 vmhba0:4:2 vmhba0:1:2 False vmhba0:2:2
0200030000600508b400106b340000900002110000485356323130 False False False False vmhba0:4:3 False

Thanks!

Also, it would take longer but could you include a host rescan before the script starts executing so that all of the data can be current?

Hi Guys,

Got the same issue, its reporting my local drives as datastores and reporting a mismatch on the clusters.

Any chance of looking into this? Great work otherwise… love it!

agree with Duncan, GREAT script but is there an easy way to filter out local luns?

I was wondering if Paul had a workable solution or addition for auditing the port group VLANs. I love the script above but really need to audit the por group VLANs as well.

Just ran this script and it works fine but:
- you might want to filter the local luns (vmhba0:0:0) cause they usually have a different name on every single host in a cluster
- the script throws an error when a cluster doesn’t contain hosts

Hi Hugo,

I was trying to do exactly as Daniel requested and managed to fudge something together. Would appreciate it if you would take the time to have a look and see how it could be improved as i think the method I came up with to compare VLANS works but is a little convoluted.

let me know if you have the time or inclination to take a look and i’ll post the script.

This is probably an open door, but how do I import a certificate?

Thanks for lots of great scripts. Looking for VCB ones but liked what I found anyway. My script works some time but other times the snapshot times out. Wanted your clear connection script to see if that was my issue, wasn’t. Your list disks script will help also.

You can import the certificate to get rid of the first message, but the second one will remain as your server will most likely not be called ‘vmware’. Might work to create a dns alias for it, but that’s not very nice. Maybe you can find out a way to generate a new certificate with the proper server name in it. If anybody finds a way before I do, let me know.
