get-vmguest C drive

[tdubb123]

I need to find the guestos freespace in GB.

when i do

get-vm xxx | get-vmguest | select *

I see this

how do I get only the C drive which should be "Hard Disk 1" and con vert to GB

[T180985]

get-vm **** | get-vmguest | select -ExpandProperty disks

will show you all the disks in GB

You can do

get-vm xxx | get-vmguest | select -ExpandProperty Disks |

where {$_.Path -match "^C:"} |

Select -ExpandProperty CapacityGB

any idea why I am getting this error with the math function?

$results = @()

$vms = get-vm -name (Get-Content .\vms.txt)

ForEach ($VM in $vms) {

$VMview = get-vm $VM | get-view

$result = ""|  select VM, Diskpath, CapacityGB, FreespaceGB, Freespace_percent

$result.VM = $VM.Name

$result.Diskpath = $VMview.guest.disk.diskpath

$result.CapacityGB = [math]::Round(($VMview.guest.disk.capacity)/ 1GB)

$result.FreespaceGB = [math]::Round(($VMview.guest.disk.freespace)/ 1GB)

$result.Free

$results += $result

}

$results | ft -auto

Because the Disk property is an array when there is more than 1 drive in the guest OS.

You could do

$results = @()

$vms = get-vm -name (Get-Content .\vms.txt)

ForEach ($VM in $vms) {

$VMview = get-vm $VM | get-view

$result = ""|  select VM, Diskpath, CapacityGB, FreespaceGB, Freespace_percent

$result.VM = $VM.Name

$result.Diskpath = $VMview.guest.disk.diskpath

$result.CapacityGB = ($VMview.guest.disk.capacity | %{[math]::Round($_/1GB)}) -join '|'

$result.FreespaceGB = ($VMview.guest.disk.freespace | %{[math]::Round($_/1GB)}) -join '|'

$result.Free

$results += $result

}

$results | ft -auto

Can i just target the C Drive?

[LucD · Accepted solution]

Try like this

$results = @()

$vms = get-vm -name (Get-Content .\vms.txt)

ForEach ($VM in $vms) {

$VMview = get-vm $VM | get-view

$result = ""|  select VM, Diskpath, CapacityGB, FreespaceGB, Freespace_percent

$result.VM = $VM.Name

$cDisk = $VMview.guest.disk| where{$_.DiskPath -match "^C:"}

$result.Diskpath = $cDisk.diskpath

$result.CapacityGB = [math]::Round($cDisk.capacity/1GB)

$result.FreespaceGB = [math]::Round($cDisk.freespace/1GB)

$result.Freespace_percent = [math]::Round($cDisk.freespace/$cDisk.capacity*100,1)

$results += $result

}

$results | ft -auto

Thanks Lucd. works perfectly

[udayswami]

are these powershell commands and what is the pre-requisite to run these commands

[LucD]

These are PowerShell and PowerCLI cmdlets.
You should have PowerShell and the VMware.PowerCLI module installed.

[udayswami]

how do I install the vmware powercli module
