[vCheck] Single storage VMs plugin script and exclusions of DS

[GabCava]

Hello, in the Single storage VMs plugin script I need to exclude certain datastores which contain characters "ucs". So I modified the line:

$unSharedDatastore = $storageviews | Where-Object {-Not $_.summary.multiplehostaccess} | Select-Object -Expand Name

with

$unSharedDatastore = $storageviews | Where-Object {-Not $_.summary.multiplehostaccess -and $_.Name -notmatch "ucs"} | Select-Object -Expand Name

or

$unSharedDatastore = $storageviews | Where-Object {-Not $_.summary.multiplehostaccess} | Where-Object {$_.Name -notmatch "ucs"} | Select-Object -Expand Name

and that works but it removes also lines that do not contain those characters. What am I doing wrong? I´ve checked and the  sequence ucs is not  contained in the lines that are removed too

That should work.

Can you give us some examples of these datastore names that are removed but shouldn't have been?

Hi Luc

here it is

[S-001-DC3-PDC-DEVCLUSTER] F5-UNITT-SDC-LAB/F5-UNITT-SDC-LAB.vmx

The datastorename "S-001-DC3-PDC-DEVCLUSTER" does not match "ucs", there must be something else going wrong.

Are these missing datastores present in $storageviews?

Try showing the content of $storageviews before the Where-clause is executed.

Perhaps these datastores are "shared" and the first test doesn't pass?
