Hello,

I want a script that can pull VM hard disk usage, not on the partition front but on the hard disk front.
I have a script that calls "(get-vm).extensiondata.layoutex.file" and get the VMDK size but I found it to be not so accurate. if there is a possibility to get vm guest hard disk(not partition) usage that will solve the issue for me. 

Thanks in Advance

What exactly did you do with the data in LayoutEx.File?
Which inaccuracy did you notice?
I used the same property in yadr – A vdisk reporter, which seems to work for me.

HI  

Thanks for the Reply,

my requirement is to get the hard disk usage on the hard disk front.

get-vm DRaaS-vCenter| Get-VMGuest -PipelineVariable guest |
where{$_.Disks -ne $null} |
ForEach-Object -Process {
$_.Disks | ForEach-Object -Process {
New-Object PSObject -Property ([ordered]@{ Server = $guest.VM.Name
 Path = $_.Path
CapacityGB = [math]::round($_.CapacityGB)
FreeSpaceGB = [math]::round($_.FreeSpaceGB)
 Percent = [int]($_.FreeSpaceGB/$_.CapacityGB * 100)
})}}

Server : DRaaS-vCenter
Path : C:\
CapacityGB : 80
FreeSpaceGB : 38
Percent : 47

(get-vm DRaaS-vCenter).extensiondata.layoutex.file |?{$_.name -match ".vmdk"}

here the out put of disk size with difference of 8 GB. i ran this on my test env, when i run the same on prod many servers report with 0 or lesser than what it shows on the guest level. 

Do you mean with "on the guest level" the disksize shown inside the guest OS?
And which type of guest OS is that?
