Datastore and vm spaces

[fborges555]

Hi gurus

I am looking to get the following information from a datastore, I need to know the VM on the datastore and what space each VM is using on the datastore

I would like to know how much space a vm is consuming on a particular datastore, is this posible.

Thanks

Thanks for jumping in, I am looking to get all the info from a datastore and vm at once using powercli , your steps helps me one vm at a time.

Thanks

You could try something like this

Get-Datastore -PipelineVariable ds |

ForEach-Object -Process {

Get-VM -Datastore $ds | where{$_.ExtensionData.Storage.PerDatastoreUsage.Datastore -contains $ds.Id} |

Select @{N='Datastore';E={$ds.Name}},

    @{N='VM';E={$_.Name}},

    @{N='SpaceMB';E={[math]::Round(($_.ExtensionData.LayoutEx.File | where{$_.Name -match $ds.Name} | Measure-Object -Property Size -Sum).Sum/1MB,2)}}

} | Sort-Object -Property Datastore,VM
