get storage adapter details using powershell

[srinivasaddagat]

Hi,

I am looking for ways to get complete details of the storage adapters on my ESX box. I came across below below script but it gives the target iqn details where as i need host iqn details, is it possible to get this information?

$esxImpl = Get-VMHost -Name

$storImpl = Get-VMHostStorage -VMHost $esxImpl

$stor = get-view $storImpl.ID

foreach($adapter in $stor.StorageDeviceInfo.ScsiTopology.Adapter){

Write-Host $adapter.Adapter

foreach($target in $adapter.Target){

Write-Host $target.Transport.IScsiName

}

}

Thanks

Sure, that info is in the same object, different property.

Try this adapted script. Should give you a better overview of your iSCSI topology.

$stor = get-view (Get-VMHostStorage -VMHost (Get-VMHost -Name <ESX-hostname>)).ID

$stor.StorageDeviceInfo.HostBusAdapter | where {$_.GetType().Name -eq "HostInternetScsiHba"} | %{
  Write-Host "Device" $_.Device "iSCSI" $_.IScsiName
  $device = $_.Device
  $stor.StorageDeviceInfo.ScsiTopology.Adapter | where {$_.Adapter -like ("*" + $device)} | %{
  	 $_.Target | %{
	   Write-Host "`tTarget" $_.Target
	   Write-Host "`tIScsiName" $_.Transport.IScsiName
	 }
  }
}

Hi,

It worked perfectly fine. One last thing, will i be able to get IP address details as well? If yes then whats the variblae that host this info. I tried $_.IP, $_.IPSettings, $_.IPAddress but no luck.

Thanks

In the HostInternetScsiTargetTransport object there is a property address that should contain an array with the IP addresses.

Try this

$stor = get-view (Get-VMHostStorage -VMHost (Get-VMHost -Name <ESX-hostname>)).ID

$stor.StorageDeviceInfo.HostBusAdapter | where {$_.GetType().Name -eq "HostInternetScsiHba"} | %{
  Write-Host "Device" $_.Device "iSCSI" $_.IScsiName
  $device = $_.Device
  $stor.StorageDeviceInfo.ScsiTopology.Adapter | where {$_.Adapter -like ("*" + $device)} | %{
  	 $_.Target | %{
	   Write-Host "`tTarget" $_.Target
	   Write-Host "`tIScsiName" $_.Transport.IScsiName
	   foreach($ip in $_.Transport.address){
	   	  Write-Host "`tIP addr" $ip
	   }
	 }
  }
}

Hi,

Thanks. I should have been more specific, i am looking for IP addresses

assigned to my HBA adapters and not the target IP address. I jus tried

$_.address along with $_.Device and $_.IscsiAlias but it doesn't seem to

work.

Thanks

The IP properties of the HBA can be found in the HostInternetScsiHbaIPProperties object which is accessible from the ipProperties property in the HostInternetScsiHba object.

$stor = get-view (Get-VMHostStorage -VMHost (Get-VMHost -Name <ESX-hostname>)).ID

$stor.StorageDeviceInfo.HostBusAdapter | where {$_.GetType().Name -eq "HostInternetScsiHba"} | %{
  Write-Host "Device" $_.Device "iSCSI" $_.IScsiName
  Write-Host "IP properties"
  Write-Host "`tIP address" $_.ipProperties.address
  Write-Host "`tMAC address" $_.ipProperties.mac
  Write-Host
  $device = $_.Device
  $stor.StorageDeviceInfo.ScsiTopology.Adapter | where {$_.Adapter -like ("*" + $device)} | %{
  	 $_.Target | %{
	   Write-Host "`tTarget" $_.Target
	   Write-Host "`tIScsiName" $_.Transport.IScsiName
	   foreach($ip in $_.Transport.address){
	   	  Write-Host "`tIP addr" $ip
	   }
	 }
  }
}
