get VMDK file locations

MRoushdy — Wed, 21 Aug 2019 12:40:21 GMT

Hello,

I'd like to get a specific VM, and list it's VMDKs, and where they are stored (datastore name).

Thanks,

Something like this?

$vmName = 'MyVM'

Get-VM -Name $vmName |

Get-HardDisk |

Select Name,FileName,@{N='Datastore';E={$_.FileName.Split(']')[0].TrimStart('[')}}

Hello,

Thanks but, I've found that the following command gets the exact result I needed:

get-vm VMNAME | get-harddisk

Excuse me, but that is basically the same as I gave you.
My snippet gives exactly what you asked (the datastore)
