esxcli getting fc/nic driver/firmware version

[tdubb123]

Hi

trying to get driver/firmware versions with this

$results= @()

$results2= @()

$vmhosts = get-vmhost (get-content ".\esxhosts.txt")

foreach ($vmhost in $vmhosts) {

$esxcli = get-esxcli -VMHost $vmhost

$result = $Esxcli.network.nic.list() | Select-Object @{N="VMHost";E={$esxcli.VMHost.Name}}, *, @{N="FirmwareVersion"; E={$Esxcli.network.nic.get($_.name).driverinfo.firmwareVersion}}, @{N="Version"; E={$Esxcli.network.nic.get($_.name).driverinfo.Version}}

$results2 = $esxcli.Storage.san.fc.list() | Select-Object @{N="VMHost";E={$esxcli.VMHost.Name}}, *, @{N="FC_FirmwareVersion"; E={$Esxcli.storage.san.fc.get($_.name).driverinfo.firmwareVersion}}, @{N="Version"; E={$Esxcli.storage.san.fc.get($_.name).driverinfo.Version}}

#$result = $Esxcli.network.nic.list() | select @{N="VMhost";E={$esxcli.vmhost.name}}, *

$results += $result

$results2 += $results2

}

#$results

$results | export-csv ".\vmhostnicdriverversions.csv" -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture

$results2 | export-csv ".\vmhostfcdriverversions.csv" -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture

but I keep getting this error

Select-Object: /Users/twong/Powershell/Vmware/get_drivers_version.ps1:12:45

Line |

  12 |  … fc.list() | Select-Object @{N="VMHost";E={$esxcli.VMHost.Name}}, *, @ …

     |                ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     | The property cannot be processed because the property "FirmwareVersion" already exists.

also the FC report only shows 1 host and not my other hosts

The error in the FC report is due to your line

$results2 = $esxcli.Storage.san.fc.list() | Select-Object @{N="VMHost";E={$esxcli.VMHost.Name}}, *, @{N="FC_FirmwareVersion"; E={$Esxcli.storage.san.fc.get($_.name).driverinfo.firmwareVersion}}, @{N="Version"; E={$Esxcli.storage.san.fc.get($_.name).driverinfo.Version}}

$results2 += $results2

Those should be

$result2 = $esxcli.Storage.san.fc.list() | Select-Object @{N="VMHost";E={$esxcli.VMHost.Name}}, *, @{N="FC_FirmwareVersion"; E={$Esxcli.storage.san.fc.get($_.name).driverinfo.firmwareVersion}}, @{N="Version"; E={$Esxcli.storage.san.fc.get($_.name).driverinfo.Version}}

$results2 += $result2

The error you are showing doesn't seem to correspond with the code you included (FC_FirmwareVersion vs FirmwareVersion)

Thanks Luc, I corrected it and works now

[tdubb123]

I seem to be having issues displaying the driver version for FC

$Esxcli.storage.san.fc.get($_.name).driverinfo.Version column is blank

[LucD]

Are you sure that $Esxcli.storage.san.fc.get is a valid command?

I only seem to have list, not get.

[tdubb123]

ok thanks for correcting that

but my FC_version is not showing correctly

[LucD]

Did you change the expression for the calculated property?

$results | export-csv ".\vmhostnicdriverversions.csv" -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture

$results2 | export-csv ".\vmhostfcdriverversions.csv" -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture

Its displaying the NIC just fine but for FC its showing it like this

[LucD]

I'm not sure why you can do it like this?

$result2 = $esxcli.Storage.san.fc.list() | Select-Object @{N="VMHost";E={$esxcli.VMHost.Name}},

Adapter,DriverName,'Node Name','Port State',Speed,'Firmware Version',DriverVersion
