Please try not to post the same question in multiple forums, duplicated thread from -

Can you provide a little more details on the "type" of script? Are you working in a Windows/Unix/Linux environment? What language do you plan on using?

Thanks a lot

Did you already check the scripts in ?

And I'm not sure what you mean with the 'Virtual Machine Name".

LUNs, controllers... are connected to ESX(i) servers.

The script became a bit more complex then I originally thought it would be.

Give the attached script a try.

Hi Lucd,

Thanks a lot .. let me know how to exceute this script... i am using windows powershell

Thanks & Regards,

[LucD · Accepted solution]

You save the attached file as .ps1 file.

From the PowerCLI prompt, you connect to vCenter with Connect-VIServer.

Then you execute the script with

.\the-script.ps1

provided you're position in the folder where the .ps1 was saved.

You can find a good intro on using PowerCLI in this Introduction to using VMware vSphere PowerCLI post.

HI Lucd ,

Thanks a lot for inventory script ..

one more query . I want know daily how many vms are rebooting and how many are not rebooting( Because in my infrastructure daily basis windows patches will be install. after installation VM s will reboot .. )...

Is there any way we can find guest os patches ..

i) when the patch was installed

ii) Last time vm reboot

iii) Health monitor of VM ..

Thanks & Regards,

BSR Krishna

1) To know when patches are installed you could query the eventlog of the guest itself.

With the Get-Event cmdlet and by using the Invoke-VMScript cmdlet this should not be too diffcult.

2) For the last reboot have a look at the When was the last time that VM was powered on? post on the PowerCLI blog.

3) Not sure what you mean with 'health monitor'. What exactly do you want to monitor ?
