Native VMFS6 Datastores

Hi. 

Is it possible to scan each datastore in a VC and tell that if it is native vmfs 6 or upgraded from vmfs 5 to vmfs 6 datastore using powercli?

If you mean an update done with Update-VmfsDatastore, that is not an update in place.
The old VMFS-5 datastore is deleted and a new VMFS-6 datastore is created.
The new datastore even has a new UUID.
