How to Get SC IP and VMK IP when using a dvswitch

[aefxx]

Hello, I was wondering if there is an easy way to get the IP addresses for the Virtual Adapters I have specified for management and vmotion when using distributed vswitches. I saw Luc's site where he created some dvswitch functions but was wondering if there was already a way to get this information?

In PowerCLI 4.1 the Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter cmdlet also returns info for portgroups on dvSwitches.

Get-VMHost <esxname> | Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter -Console:$true | Select VMHost,PortGroupName,IP

will show the IP addresses for all SC, also those on a dvSwitch.

Thanks Luc, however, when I run that command it does not return a value, even with the spelling fix on "PortGrioupName"

PS D:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI> Get-VMHost ESXHOST | Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter -Console:$true | Select VMHost,PortGroupName,IP

PS D:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI>

Oops, sorry for the typo. It's corrected.

Are you using PowerCLI 4.1 ?

Get-PowerCLIVersion

Ah that's most likely the answer. I had PowerCLI 4.1 installed but forgot I had removed it because VESI ecoshell had some bugs with it... Cheers.
