Sum all Ram usage of vm´s from .txt file

[vmwarelicense12]

I need a script to sum up all ram usage of all vm´s in a .txt file.

How can I do that?

Is that assigned memory or actually used memory, or both?

There are quite a few values for that.

This just shows some of them

$vmNames = Get-Content -Path .\vmnames.txt

Get-VM -Name $vmNames |

Select Name,MemoryGB,

   @{N='MaxMemoryGB';E={$_.ExtensionData.Summary.RunTime.MAxMemoryUsage}},

   @{N='GuestOSMemoryGB';E={$_.ExtensionData.Summary.QuickStats.GuestMemoryUsage}}

Judging from your other thread, you seem to want to summarise the memory over all VMs.

$vmNames = Get-Content -Path .\vmnames.txt

Get-VM -Name $vmNames | Measure-Object -Property MemoryGB -Sum

It is actual usage.

And I need to end up with one number of the total usage of ram for all vm´s (sum).

[LucD · Accepted solution]

You could do like this

$vmNames = Get-Content -Path .\vmnames.txt

(Get-VM -Name $vmNames).ExtensionData.Summary.QuickStats.GuestMemoryUsage | Measure-Object -Sum
