Get Host annotation, HBA status and output to file

[bernz]

Hi all

I know this is basic script, but I cannot export the values into a txt file.

It's just showing on the screen. I want to display the result onto the screen and export it to txt file after.

Sample output on all hosts:

Hostname:         

Chassis:

Device: HBA1

WWN:

Status: Online/Offline

Device: HBA2

WWN:

Status: Online/Offline

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

$HostList = get-content E:\vmw\GetVMHostList.txt

ForEach($HostName in $HostList)

{

$HostName = $HostName

get-vmhost $HostName | get-annotation -customattribute Chassis

get-vmhosthba -vmhost $HostName -type FibreChannel

}

Write-Host "Done." -foreground Yellow

Out-File C:\ScriptOutput\FCdetails.txt

The ForEach doesn't place anything in the pipeline.

Capture the result in a variable, then send that to the file

$HostList = Get-Content E:\vmw\GetVMHostList.txt

$text = ForEach($HostName in $HostList)

{

    $HostName = $HostName

    Get-VMHost $HostName | Get-Annotation -customattribute Chassis

    Get-VMHostHba -VMHost $HostName -Type FibreChannel

}

Write-Host "Done." -foreground Yellow

$text | Out-File -FilePath C:\ScriptOutput\FCdetails.txt`
