Beginning of a beautiful friendship
My first PowerShell script. It retrieves the details of guest systems from a vSphere server.
$props = @('VMHostId', 'Id', 'MemoryMB', 'Name', 'Notes', 'UsedSpaceGB', 'PowerState')
"vmlist" | Out-File -encoding utf8 vmlist.txt
$containers = Get-Cluster | sort
foreach($container in $containers){
$hosts = Get-VM -Location $container.name
foreach($hosta in $hosts){
write-host $hosta.name "cluster" $container.name
$hosta.name + " cluster " + $container.name | out-file -encoding utf8 -append vmlist.txt
foreach($prop in $props){
write-host $hosta.name $prop $hosta.$prop
$hosta.name + " " + $prop + " " + $hosta.$prop | out-file -encoding utf8 -append vmlist.txt
}
Get-Annotation $hosta.name | out-File -encoding utf8 -append vmlist.txt
}
}
Of course you’ll need the vSphere PowerCLI for this.
Cloud management for the poor.
