Hi All

Do you have the VMware Tools installed on all your VMs ?

If yes, you can use the Get-VMGuest cmdlet, and in the returned object under the Disks property you should find the information.

this command only gives OS and IP information , but i need the free space available in all VM at onc

Did you check the Disks property ?

Get-VMGuest | Select -ExpandProperty Disks

Hello,

this code will do the trick (The virtual machines must be powered on and with vmware tools ok and installed)

ForEach ($VM in Get-VM | where-object {($_.powerstate -ne "PoweredOff") -and ($_.Extensiondata.Guest.ToolsStatus -Match ".*Ok.*")}){

ForEach ($Drive in $VM.Extensiondata.Guest.Disk) {

$Path = $Drive.DiskPath

#Calculations 

$Freespace = [math]::Round($Drive.FreeSpace / 1MB)

$Capacity = [math]::Round($Drive.Capacity/ 1MB)

$SpaceOverview = "$Freespace" + "/" + "$capacity" 

$PercentFree = [math]::Round(($FreeSpace)/ ($Capacity) * 100) 

$Output = $Output + "Vm: " + $VM.Name + "`n"

$Output = $Output + "Disk: " + $Path + "`n"

$OutPut = $Output + "Free(MB): " + $Freespace + "`n"

$Output = $Output + "Free(%): " + $PercentFree + "`n"  

} # End ForEach ($Drive in in $VM.Extensiondata.Guest.Disk)

} # End ForEach ($VM in Get-VM)

$Output

Remember to use the Connect-VIServer cmdlet before

Taken from here:

Report VM's Guest disks with less than 20% free space using powercli
