Solved: Re: Type of vmdk reporting

abhilashhb · ‎05-05-2014

Is there any way through which I can find out what type of vmdk's(eager zeroed, lazy zeroed and thin) are present on a datastore using powercli or vcenter reporting?

I need to do it for all datastores and output it to a csv.

Hi,

Kindly find the VMware PowerCLI script which will give you the details of HDD type attached to VM's

get-vm | get-harddisk | select Parent,StorageFormat,Filename | Export-Csv c:\output\disks.csv –NoTypeInformation

Thanks n Regards

I believe, this can be done by using SDK as well. Ref- VIJAVA open source project (search in google) & post your query there as well

Do you know if there's a script to pull this with vmkfstools?
