How to collect vCenter name next to other properties

[A_S]

Hi,

One thing i like about Connect-Viserver is the fact that you can connect to multiple vCenters by using servernames and then collect the required object info in one single call.

Like this:

Connect-viserver -Server

$row.Name = $_.name

$row.Vendor = $_.Summary.Hardware.vendor

$row.Model = $_.Summary.Hardware.model

$row.HBAs = $_.Summary.Hardware.NumHBAs

1. How to retrieve this part?

$row.=??????

$report += $row

}

$report | Export-csv $InvFile -NoTypeInformation

How do i retrieve the missing part? Is it possible?

thanks in advance

Environment: vCenter 2.5 U6 /ESX 3.5 U6 /Powercli 4.1

Here is how you can do that:

$report = @()
Get-View -ViewType HostSystem | % {
$row = "" | select Name, Vendor, Model, HBAs, Vc
$row.Name = $_.name
$row.Vendor = $_.Summary.Hardware.vendor
$row.Model = $_.Summary.Hardware.model
$row.HBAs = $_.Summary.Hardware.NumHBAs
$row.Vc = $_.Client.ServiceUrl.Split('/') | where {$_ -like "[1-9]*"}
$report += $row
}

Best regards,

Thank you,

it works. I made a little modification in order to retrieve only required part of string

$report = @()

Get-View -ViewType HostSystem | % {

$row = "" | select Name, Vendor, Model, HBAs, Vc

$row.Name = $_.name

$row.Vendor = $_.Summary.Hardware.vendor

$row.Model = $_.Summary.Hardware.model

$row.HBAs = $_.Summary.Hardware.NumHBAs

$row.Vc = $_.Client.ServiceUrl.Split('/')[2]

$report += $row

}
