VMware PowerCLI script Error. Urgent help needed!

Hello VSphere Powercli Experts,

Can some one please tell me why ESX hosts from vcenter1 is appearing on all 4 vcenters in the output? Thanks a lot in advance!

$Username = Read-Host -Prompt "Please enter your Username:"

$Password = Read-Host -Prompt "Please enter your Password:"

$vcenters = @("vcenter1","vcenter2","vcenter3","vcenter4")

$HostReport = @()

ForEach ($vcenter in $vcenters)

{

Connect-VIServer $vcenter -User $Username -Password $Password

Get-VMHost |Get-View |%{

$HReport = "" | select vCenter, Hostname, ESX_Version

$HReport.vCenter = $vcenter

$HReport.Hostname = $_.Name

$HReport.ESX_Version = $_.config.product.version

$HostReport += $HReport

}

Disconnect-VIServer $vcenter -Confirm:$false

}

$HostReport | Export-Csv "C:\ESXHostReport.csv" -NoTypeInformation

I suspect you might be connected to multiple vCenters.

Check what is in $global:defaultviservers.

You can limit your Get-VMHost to a specific vCenter by adding the Server parameter.

Get-VMHost -Server $vcenter

I can see vcenter1 when i run $global:defaultviservers.

I added Server parameter for Get-VMHost, and it fixed the issue. Thanks a lot!
