Get vm´s from vm list and sum all used space

[vmwarelicense12]

I need a script the can read a .txt file of vm names, and sum all vm disk to one number.

Can anyone help me in that?

$vmList = Get-Content c:\temp\vmlist.txt

???

Something like this?

$vmNames = Get-Content -Path C:\Temp\vmlist.txt

Get-VM -Name $vmNames |

Select Name,UsedSpaceGB,ProvisionedSPaceGB

I need all disks do be summed up to one number;)

That is what those 2 numbers represent, capacity and used.

You are right. What I want is to sum all disk usage of all the vm´s.

You could also do like this

$vmNames = Get-Content -Path .\vmnames.txt

Get-VM -Name $vmNames |

Select Name,

   @{N='HDSpaceGB';E={(Get-HardDisk -VM $_ | Measure-Object -Property CapacityGB -Sum).Sum}}
