List vms in Resource pools

[JohnMcKeown]

Hi Guys.

Has anybody got a good way of listing VMs via resource pool? I am not sure if I should do something like:

Get-VM | Get-View and drill down until I get the resource pool. But usually It lists the resource pool ID

Or is there a better way?

Thanks

John

get-vm | select name, @{n="ResourcePool"; e={$_ | Get-ResourcePool}}

Thanks kunaludapi

Its just a slow day for me, I forgot that you can just

Get-VM | Select Name, Parent.

Since the thread is open, is there another way round. List vms in a resource pool.

Get-VM | Select Name, ResourcePool

If you want to retrieve the VM's in a specific resourcepool, you can use the command from the following example, that lists all of the VM's in resoucepool rp1:

Get-ResourcePool -Name rp1 | Get-VM

This is the correct way to get all of the VMs from a particular resource pool.
