Listing Datastore device name

Need help with this simple script

$datastores = Get-Datastore -Location "CXXX" | Where-Object {$_.ExtensionData.Info.GetType().Name -eq "VmfsDatastoreInfo"}

$myColCurrent = @()

ForEach ($store in $datastores)

{

  $myObj = "" | Select-Object Name, devicename

   $myObj.Name = $store.name

  Write-Host $myObj.Name

  $myObj.devicename = $store.ExtensionData.Info.Vmfs.Extent.DiskName

  Write-Host $myObj.devicename

the datastore name is writtenl correctly but the devicename is blank and get this warning:

WARNING: The 'Accessible' property of Datastore type is deprecated. Use the 'State' property instead.

Strange part is the Script works lab powercli connecting to the lab vcenter. But, gives the error in production powecli server to prod vcenter.  the powercli and vcenter server versions are the same.

A help is greatly appreciated

The Extent property is an array.

Try changing this line

$myObj.devicename = $store.ExtensionData.Info.Vmfs.Extent.DiskName

into this

$myObj.devicename = [string]::Join(',',($store.ExtensionData.Info.Vmfs.Extent | %{$_.DiskName}))

You can safely ignore the warning messages, or perhaps disable them with the Set-PowerCLIConfiguration cmdlet and the DisplayDeprecationWarnings switch.
