Accessing the cluster name of a VM

[TheVMinator]

Is it possible to create a property that accesses the cluster name that a VM is on, such as this:

get-vm | select name,

@{n="cluster";e={ GetTheClusterNameSomehow}}

?

Thanks!

Something like this should do the trick.

$vm = Get-VM -Name MyVM
$vm | Select Name,@{n="Cluster";E={
  $rp = Get-View $_.ExtensionData.ResourcePool
  $parent = Get-View $rp.Parent
  While ($parent -isnot [VMware.Vim.ClusterComputeResource]){
    $parent = Get-View $parent.Parent
  }
  $parent.Name
}}
