DirectPath IO

[twindude]

Is it possible to create a script to show which ESXi host has directpath IO support in vsphere 5.0u2. I say support because in VC it shows supported or not supported.

Hello, twindude-

Looks like the property on a host object that corresponds to the DirectPath I/O "supported" or "not supported" is in the Capability property.  So, something like the following should get the info that you are after:

Get-VMHost | Select Name, @{n="DirectPathIOSupported"; e={$_.ExtensionData.Capability.VmDirectPathGen2Supported}}

The output would be something like:

Name	DirectPathIOSupported
----	---------------------
myhost0.dom.com	True

How does that do for you?

@mattboren that worked.. now to get it out to a text file... thank you!

Alright, good to hear.

As for getting it to a text file, you can just pipe the output to something like Export-Csv.
