PowerCLI Script to get ESXi Network/Storage Firmware and Driver Version

[Johan77]

Hi Admin,

Found this script which gets me firmware and driver info.

-------

$vmhosts = Get-Cluster "clust01" | get-vmHost

$report = @()

foreach( $ESXHost in $vmhosts) {

$HWModel = get-vmHost $ESXHost | Select Name, Model

$esxcli = Get-ESXcli -vmhost $ESXHost

if($HWModel.Model -eq "ProLiant BL460c Gen9")

{

$info = $esxcli.network.nic.get("vmnic0").DriverInfo | select Driver, FirmwareVersion, Version

$ModuleName = "$($info.Driver)"

$Firmware = "$($info.FirmwareVersion)"

$Driver = "$($info.Version)"

$elxnet = $esxcli.software.vib.list() | where { $_.name -eq "elxnet"}

$report += $info | select @{N="Hostname"; E={$ESXHost}},@{N="Hardware-Model"; E={$HWModel.Model}},@{N="Adapter-Firmware"; E={$Firmware}}, @{N="Network-Driver"; E={$Driver}}, @{N="FC-Driver"; E={$elxnet.version.substring(0,14)}}

}

}

$report | out-gridview

Above works fine for my blade servers with CNAs.

But on some om my VMhost I have separate FC HBAs , and to get the driver info I use something like this :
$esxcli.system.module.get("lpfc") | Select-object @{N="VMHostName";E={$VMHostName}}, Module, Version

Possible to combine this line with my script someway?  

Thanks

Johan

LucD,

Does the script works for CISCO UCS blade model also ? We have mixed environment of HP and UCS blade.

Thanks

I wouldn't know, I don't have such HW available to verify that.
Did you try to run it against that HW?

[vmk2014]

No LucD, i didn't try to run. I will try to run and revert back

Hi Lucd,
Good day !!

For getting ISCSI HBA firmware & driver version and NIC firmware and driver version how can we modify with existing script or anything new which simplify it.. Normally whatever scripts i saw all extract information for FC HBAs .. I need ISCSi HBA details

[LucD]

You could start with something like this

Get-VMHost -PipelineVariable esx |

ForEach-Object -Process {

     $esxcli = Get-EsxCli -VMHost $esx -V2

     $esxcli.iscsi.adapter.list.Invoke() |

     ForEach-Object -Process {

          $esxcli.iscsi.adapter.get.Invoke(@{adapter="$($_.Adapter)"})

     }

}

[Raghukalloor]

Hi Lucd,
It gives a bunch of information. Can we limit those information as below
VMhost, description, Drivername, Driverversion, Firmwareversion, ID, name,vendor

2. Can we club even NIC driver and firmware information aswell.

[LucD]

You can use a Select-Object to only show the properties you want.

The NIC info is obtained in the same way as in the other snippets in this thread.

[Raghukalloor]

Thanks Lucd,

Will give a try.

[Raghukalloor]

I couldn't get the desired output when i place select-object for the below script. Could you help me in placing those.

Get-VMHost -PipelineVariable esx |

ForEach-Object -Process {

     $esxcli = Get-EsxCli -VMHost $esx -V2

     $esxcli.iscsi.adapter.list.Invoke() |

     ForEach-Object -Process {

          $esxcli.iscsi.adapter.get.Invoke(@{adapter="$($_.Adapter)"})

     }

}

[Raghukalloor]

Hi Lucd,

I made it .pls see the below output. How can i get the hostname to get published in the report?

Get-VMHost  -PipelineVariable esx |

ForEach-Object -Process {

     $esxcli = Get-EsxCli -VMHost $esx -V2

     $esxcli.iscsi.adapter.list.Invoke() |

     ForEach-Object -Process {

          $esxcli.iscsi.adapter.get.Invoke(@{adapter="$($_.Adapter)"}) | Select-Object description, Drivername, Driverversion, Firmwareversion, ID, name,vendor

     }

}

[LucD]

You could use a calculated property.

Get-VMHost  -PipelineVariable esx |

ForEach-Object -Process {

     $esxcli = Get-EsxCli -VMHost $esx -V2

     $esxcli.iscsi.adapter.list.Invoke() |

     ForEach-Object -Process {

          $esxcli.iscsi.adapter.get.Invoke(@{adapter="$($_.Adapter)"}) |

          Select-Object @{N='VMHost';E={$esx.Name}},

            description, Drivername, Driverversion, Firmwareversion, ID, name,vendor

     }

}
