VM.NetworAdapter and VM.HardDisk properties deprecated

Hello,

I have a big issue after update to PowerCLI 6.3

I have a script that collects information about all my VMs in different vcenters (Name, Domain, Memory, CPU, space used, network names, IPs, harddrives and so on)

$vm.NetworAdapters and $vm.HardDisks properties have been deprecated.

So now I have to use $vm | get-networkAdapters and $vm | get-harddisks.
This has increased the time for my script from some hours to some days!!

A example of the code :

foreach($vm in (get-vm)) {

if ((($vm | Get-NetworkAdapter).count -eq 0) -and (($vm | Get-HardDisk).count -eq 0) -and ($vm.PowerState -eq 'PoweredOff')){}

else{

$VMs = "" | select Name, "Guest ID", "Num CPU", MemoryGB, Host, Id, NicNumber, HardDiskNumber, HardDisks, IPs, Nets, Platform,Provisioned,Used,Domain

$VMs.Platform = 'VMWare'

$VMs.Name = $vm.Name

$VMs.NicNumber = ($vm | Get-NetworkAdapter).coun [...]

The 'if statement' is to not include SRM VMs in the list (and avoid duplicated VMs).

So I would like to :

- Reduce the list of VMs, not including SRM VMs in get-vm. But I don't know how to do it without NetworkAdapter property (get-vm | where {($_.NetworkAdapter).count -eq 0 .... doesn't work any more).

- See how to improve the performance that I lost with this new commands instead of properties.

Thanks so much in advance.

Antonio

These numbers are still there, just not exported anymore to the .Net object.

Try like this

foreach($vm in (Get-VM | where{$_.ExtensionData.Summary.Config.NumEthernetCards -ne 0 -and

                                $_.ExtensionData.Summary.Config.NumVirtualDisks -ne 0})){

                               

}
