    Where is that Disconnect-VIServer coming from?
    That was not in the code I posted.
    The code assumes you are connected to the vCenter.

    Disconnect-VIServer is added my self. Script is working now. But, When I try to export data in CSV, getting  cluster detail for only one datastore only. otherwise on screen output shows for all datastore.

    That probably means you placed the Export-Csv inside the Forwach-Object loop, hence overwriting the CSV each time.
    You have to place the Export-Csv outside the Foreach-Object code block

    Now, I have kept my Export-CSV in out of foreach, but still I am getting cluster detail only for last datastore in the list.

    You are overwriting the variable $p inside the loop each time.

    How can I stop overwriting $p in the script.

    Perhaps you could use the code I give and not change it?
