Someone can gime some help

Big thanks to you. I am following you past 4 years.. When ever i am searching any script for PowerCli, at least google will provide your two scripts.
Now my requirement is need VM information with RDM status only ( RDM presented or not). Not required for RDM details. I have modified your script.
Request to review the script. i will believe i done some mistake.
@LucD
Try like this
$report = @()
$vmList = Get-Content C:\temp\VM.txt
$vms = Get-VM $vmList
foreach($vm in $vms){
foreach($dev in $vm.ExtensionData.Config.Hardware.Device){
if(($dev.gettype()).Name -eq "VirtualDisk"){
if($dev.Backing.CompatibilityMode -eq "physicalMode")
{
$rdm = "yes"
}
else {
$rdm = "no"
}
$row = "" | select VMName, Cluster, ESXHost, Datastore, NetworkName, RDM
$row.VMName = $vm.Name
$row.Cluster = get-cluster -VM $vm
$row.ESXHost = Get-VMHost -VM $vm
$row.Datastore = Get-Datastore -VM $vm
$row.NetworkName = (get-vm $vm | Get-NetworkAdapter).NetworkName
$row.RDM = $rdm
$report += $row
}
}
}
$report

As Usually you are awesome
Working like a charm.
Really appreciate your help.
Hi LuCD,
One more help, after running this script i am getting multiple lines of same VM( Based on number of disk). Is it possible to display only one line for VM and need to add vCenter name in additional column. .
Have a look at 1. Re: Get-HardDisk on one csv line

Thanks. I will helpful. How i can add vCenter Name in Column. Before we are connecting two vCenter.
The vCenter can be derived from the Uid property on the HardDisk object.
Something like this
Get-VM -Name MyVM | Get-HardDisk |
Select Name,
@{N='VM';E={$_.Parent.Name}},
@{N='vCenter';E={$_.Uid.Split('@')[1].Split(':')[0]}}

LucD, for the RDM-Report.ps1 script, is it possible to include a column that reports the Perennially Reserved status of each LUN?
Since there are many version of the script floating around in this thread, would you mind attaching the one you are using?

Sorry, LucD. Surprisingly, I actually figured this out on my own since posting the question. Here's what I pieced together for my particular needs:
$clusterName = 'ClusterName'
$cluster = Get-Cluster -Name $clusterName
$luns = Get-VM -Location $cluster | Get-HardDisk | where{$_.DiskType -match '^Raw'} | Select -ExpandProperty ScsiCanonicalName
Get-VMHost -Location $cluster | %{
$esxcli = Get-EsxCli -VMHost $_ -V2
$esxcli.storage.core.device.list.Invoke() | where{$luns -contains $_.Device} | Select @{N='VMHost';E={$esxcli.VMHost.Name}},Device,@{N='SizeGB';E={$_.Size/1KB}},IsPerenniallyReserved
}
This displayed a list of RDM disks, the ESXi host it is attached to, the size, and the Perennially Reserved status. Thanks for the ultra-fast reply (and for all you do for the VMware community!)
Great, and thanks for sharing.
