Output of Get-Vm

[esxinoob]

Hi

How can I show the whole path of the Virtual Disk File (See attachement)?

Regards

The default PowerShell output engine tries to place as much info as possible on the console.

You can pipe the results to Format-List, where each property will be on a separate line.

Or you can pipe the result to Format-Table -AutoSize

Thanks a lot.

Is there a way to show which VM is using the disk file?

-> I can only see where the vmdk s located, but I don't see which VM is using the vmdk file...

Try something like this

Get-VM | Get-HardDisk | 
Where {$_.Filename -match "Windows Server 2008 R2.vmdk"} | 
Select @{N="VM";E={$_.Parent.Name}},Filename

Does work, thank you!
