How do you return the IPv6 address of your hypervisor using powershell?

Hi,

     I'm trying to use powershell to return the IPv6 address of my esx host running 5.5 update 2.  I'm using powercli 6.0, but when i attempt to run either:


Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter | select VMhost, Name, IP


or


Get-VMhost | Get-View | select Name, @{N="IP Address";E={($_.Config.Network.Vnic | ? {$_.Device -eq "vmk0"}).Spec.Ip.IpAddress}}

both return empty fields for the IP address.  Is powershell not capable of returning the IPv6 address?

Thanks in advance.

Did you alreade try with Get-EsxCli and then

$esxcli.network.ip.interface.ipv6.address.list()

I did not know about "Get-EsxCli", but that does work!  Thanks.
