Hi,
I am looking out a powercli script. Please help me
1. List datastores in a cluster
2.List only shared data stores it may be NFS,ISCSI,FC,FCOE and Not local datastore.
Thanks
Hi,
Try,
get-datstore | where{$_.ExtensionData.Summary.MultipleHostAccess -eq ‘true’} | Select Name, Type | export-csv .\Multi-Host-Access.CSV
Abby
I think you forgot the cluster part :smileygrin:
Get-Cluster -Name <MyCluster> | Get-Datastore | where{$_.ExtensionData.Summary.MultipleHostAccess}

Hi Lucd,
I tried that option but i am not getting any output. Below is the details
PowerCLI C:\Users\vidyasagar\Documents> get-cluster -Name blr-clus | Get-Datast
re

Can you first check if the Get-Cluster cmdlet is returning anything?
Just do a Get-Cluster on it's own.
Is the name you passed on your earlier call in the list of returned cluster objects?
If nothing is returned, are you connected to a vSphere server?
Do a $global:defaultviservers

Hi Lucd,
It is connected and I am able to fetch get-cluster output. But i dont know it listing two times.
PowerCLI C:\Users\vidyasagar\Documents> get-cluster
Name HAEnabled HAFailover DrsEnabled DrsAutomationLe
Level vel
---- --------- ---------- ---------- ---------------
BLR-CLUS False 1 False FullyAutomated
LAB True 1 True FullyAutomated
BLR-CLUS False 1 False FullyAutomated
LAB True 1 True FullyAutomated
Thanks
Do you perhaps have two connections listed in $global:defaultviservers?

Hi Lucd,
Yes it is showing two connections.
Thanks,
Vidya Sagar
Close one of the connections, then try again.

Which PowerCLI version are you using?
Do a Get-PowerCLIVersion
