Get Hardware info

[antoniogemelli]

Hello,

I would like to get host hardware info, something like this but with more information:

Get-VMHost |Sort Name |Get-View | Select Name, @{N=“Type“;E={$_.Hardware.SystemInfo.Vendor+ “ “ + $_.Hardware.SystemInfo.Model}}, @{N=“CPU“;E={“PROC:“ + $_.Hardware.CpuInfo.NumCpuPackages + “ CORES:“ + $_.Hardware.CpuInfo.NumCpuCores + “ MHZ: “ + [math]::round($_.Hardware.CpuInfo.Hz / 1000000, 0)}}, @{N=“MEM“;E={“” + [math]::round($_.Hardware.MemorySize / 1GB, 0) + “ GB“}} | ` Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation C:\Users\gemela\Desktop\VM_CLuster_Host_Datastore.csv

What I need is:

Hostname

Cluster

Cpu Model

Cores for Cpu

Logical Processors

Vendor

Model

Speed

Memory GB

Network Nic Count 1Gb/s (Management, Production,Backup)

SAN FC

Local Disk

Active?

Available

Is possible to get all info in one script?

Thanks

Yes

[antoniogemelli]

Currently I extracting those info with RvTools.

Hi LucD,

I'm lost here,

Not sure if I can get Local Disk name example HP 2x279 GB RAID1 7.2K rpm Only for Hypervizor

and SAN FC Like: 2x4GB Hitachi Data Systems VSP, Hitachi Data Systems VSP G100 Full equipment.

get-vmhost | Select name,

@{N="Host";E={($_ | Get-VMHostNetwork).Hostname}},

@{N=”Datacenter”;E={Get-Datacenter -VMHost $_}},

@{N=”Cluster”;E={($_ | get-cluster).Name}},

@{N=“Cpu Model“;E={($_| Get-View).Hardware.CpuPkg[0].Description}},

@{N=“Speed“;E={"" + [math]::round(($_| get-view).Hardware.CpuInfo.Hz / 1000000, 0)}},

@{N="HT Available";E={($_).HyperthreadingActive}},

@{N="HT Active";E={($_ | get-view).Config.HyperThread.Active}},

@{N=“# CPU“;E={($_| Get-View).Hardware.CpuInfo.NumCpuPackages}},

@{N="Cores per CPU";E={($_| Get-View).Hardware.CpuInfo.NumCpuCores /($_| Get-View).Hardware.CpuInfo.NumCpuPackages}},

@{N=“#Cores“;E={($_| Get-View).Hardware.CpuInfo.NumCpuCores}},

@{N='Vendor';E={($_| Get-View).Summary.Hardware.Vendor}},

@{N=“Model“;E={($_| Get-View).Hardware.SystemInfo.Vendor+ “ “ + ($_| Get-View).Hardware.SystemInfo.Model}},

@{N=“Memory GB“;E={“” + [math]::round(($_| get-view).Hardware.MemorySize / 1GB, 0) + “ GB“}},

@{N=“Type“;E={$_.Hardware.SystemInfo.Vendor+ “ “ + $_.Hardware.SystemInfo.Model}},

@{n="HostUUID";e={$_.ExtensionData.hardware.systeminfo.uuid}},

@{N=”NTP”;E={Get-VMHostNtpServer $_}},

@{N="Datastore";E={Get-Datastore -VM $_}},

@{N="LUN";E={$lun.CanonicalName}}| Export-csv C:\Users\gemela\Desktop\ClusterESXTECOPROD.csv –NoTypeInformation

Any suggestion?

[LucD]

Under which RVTools tab, and in which column do you get that info?

[antoniogemelli]

Most of the info I can get with vHost tab,

Like:

Host

Datacenter

Cluster

CPU Model

Speed

HT Available

HT Active

#Cpu

Cores per CPU

Cores

Memory

Model

UTC

In tab vDatastore

Datastore

With the last code I can get almost everythings need except Local Disk and SAN FC.

[LucD]

What exactly do you want to see under Local Disk and SAN FC?

Is that info available in the Web Client?

Can you give an example? Screenshot?

[antoniogemelli]

I have an old report but I don't know how they get this info, looks like if they taken from HP Blade:  

SAN FC	Local Disk
2x4GB Hitachi Data Systems VSP, Hitachi Data Systems VSP G100 Full equipment	HP 2x279 GB RAID1 7.2K rpm Only for Hypervizor
2x4GB Hitachi Data Systems VSP, Hitachi Data Systems VSP G100 Full equipment	HP 2x279 GB RAID1 7.2K rpm Only for Hypervizor
2x4GB Hitachi Data Systems VSP, Hitachi Data Systems VSP G100 Full equipment	HP 2x279 GB RAID1 7.2K rpm Only for Hypervizor

[LucD]

Does this returns part of that info?

It depends how much ESXi can "see" from the HW, in other words how the HW made that info available.

$esx = Get-VMHost MyEsx

$esxcli = Get-EsxCli -VMHost $esx

# Local disk

$esxcli.storage.core.device.list() | where{$_.DeviceType -eq 'Direct-Access' -and $_.IsLocal -eq 'true'} |

Select DisplayName,Device,Vendor,Model,Revision

# SAN FC

$esxcli.storage.core.device.list() | where{$_.DeviceType -eq 'Direct-Access' -and $_.IsLocal -eq 'false' -and $_.IsSharedClusterWide -eq 'True'} |

Select DisplayName,Device,Vendor,Model,Revision

[antoniogemelli]

Works, but no output.

[LucD]

That's what I was afraid of, it really depends on the HW vendor and model if the info can be obtained this way.

[antoniogemelli]

Problem can be resolved if I install HPE  tools but I can't now (no admin right on the jump server)
