Automation

Hi

I'm unable to find a command to collect the total number of disks and the controller configured on VM?

Can you help me at least with some resources  

You mean something like this?

I tried to add it to this script but I'm getting errors

https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-PowerCLI-Discussions/vSAN-policy-in-different-datastores/m-p/2951782#M110494

for sure you can help me but I would like to understand how I can find such information, because I'm checking this 2 references

https://developer.vmware.com/docs/powercli/latest/products/vmwarevsphereandvsan/
https://developer.vmware.com/apis/1355/vsphere

For sure I'm doing something in wrong way

Did you try something like this?

As simple as that   Thank you

Question : to have the output in separate line this , would you please help me with some clue, I would like to give a try

Instead of looking at al the Harddisks at once, I would loop over the Harddisks.
Using a loop like this for example

The PipelineVariable parameter allows you to refer to the objects returned by Get-VM, via $vm, and Get-Harddisk, via $hd.

Also, note that the Get-View is not really needed, you can access the same properties via for example $vm.ExtensionData and $hd.ExtensionData

I will give atry and keep you posted

I'm still  beginner 

We were all beginners at one point in time 
The best way to learn is by doing

would you please assist me to find reference where I can find ExtensionData?

I checked the link below

https://developer.vmware.com/docs/powercli/latest/products/vmwarevsphereandvsan/

Sure, everything that is available under ExtensionData are in fact the objects listed in the vSphere Web Services API.

For example the content you get when you do

is documented under the VirtualMachine entry.
Similar for $esx.ExtensionData, $datastore.ExtensionData, $datacenter.ExtensionData, ...

Reading the API Reference might take a while to get used to, but everything is in there.

The objects returned by cmdlets that use a REST API method are documented in the vSphere Automation Reference

I tried something like this, the good point is that I didn't received any error message but the result is not what's expected

The output for path for example it shot something like this */storage/autodeploy* and I was wondering that I will have the path for the datastore

Everything under $vm.ExtensionData.Guest is information obtained by the VMware Tools from inside the Guest OS.
The Guest OS has no knowledge whatsoever about the virtual environment, including datastores.

That is one reason I suggested earlier to have a loop with Get-Harddisk.
That will return vDisk information, including the Datastore

Thanks I will try again
