multiple extents of datastore_powercli

[jvm2016]

Hi All/luc,

How to check if a datastore has multiple extents added to it .

if i run above command it is giving only one naa id for lunwhich was originally formated with vmfs.

if we add more extents to datastore will it give naa id for additional luns added as extents or is there any other way in powercli.

Right, this is showing one disk as there's single extent on datastore. This command should return with number of extents with naa id's once you add more.

i run the folowing to check .

$e|Get-Datastore|?{$_.extensiondata.info.vmfs.extent.diskname -gt 1}       

to get all datastores where disks count more than 1 .but it still  giving the same output of 1 disk.   does above command make any sense to find multiple extents.

What if you run only $e? I’m not sure what values are stored in $e. Open a fresh powercli session connected to vCenter and try with this

Get-Datastore |

Where-Object {$_.ExtensionData.Info.GetType().Name -eq "VmfsDatastoreInfo"} |

ForEach-Object {

  if ($_)

  {

    $Datastore = $_

    $Datastore.ExtensionData.Info.Vmfs.Extent |

    Select-Object -Property @{Name="Name";Expression={$Datastore.Name}},

      DiskName

  }

}

i checked it worked fine but its not specifically giving me info as what datastores have multiple extents only.

i though of using where clause but that does not work.

iam not sure why following does not work.

Get-Datastore|?{$_.extensiondata.info.vmfs.extent -gt 1}

Try like this

Get-Data | Where{$_.ExtensionData.Info.Vmfs.Extent.Count -gt 1}
