Script for Daily Storage Report - Help Scripting Gurus!

[kcvman]

VI Toolkit + PowerGUI + PowerGadgets = awesome

My knowledge of Powershell = minimal (so far, but I'm trying to learn!)

My question -

My storage folks are asking for a daily report on SAN usage. They want to know:

vmguestx on vmhostx is using datastore(s) x, which has a capacity of xxx and free space of xxx.

I've tried a few ways on my own, but having not much luck.

Can any of the scripting gods help out with a ps1 script for this?

Appreciate any help!

Do I understand correctly that the local storage always has the string "local" in it's name ?

If yes, you can filter the datastores this way.

Get-Datastore | where {-not $_.Name.Contains("local")}

Luc,

You are correct, all of the server side storage has local in the name (and all external has SAN in the name) If I could filter the names that shold work nicely.
