ying to new-viproperty vCenterserver

[tdubb123]

trying to get vmhost info and management IP plus vcenter but this is not working

New-VIProperty -Name vCenterServer -ObjectType VMHost -Value {$Args[0].Uid.Split(“:”)[0].Split(“@”)[1]} -Force | Out-Null

get-vmhost | get-vmhostnetworkadapter | ?{$_.name -eq "vmk0" } | select VMhost, name, IP, vCenterServer

vCenterServer is blank

any idea?

[LucD · Accepted solution]

The ObjectType parameter should be HostVirtualNic

New-VIProperty -Name vCenterServer -ObjectType HostVirtualNic -Value {
    $Args[0].Uid.Split(“:”)[0].Split(“@”)[1]
} -Force | Out-Null

Get-VMHost | Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter | 
Where-Object{$_.name -eq "vmk0" } | 
select VMhost, name, IP, vCenterServer

Thanks Luc,

how come this does not work?

New-VIProperty -Name vCenterServer -ObjectType VMHost -Value {$Args[0].Uid.Split(“:”)[0].Split(“@”)[1]} -Force | Out-Null

get-vmhost | select name, @{n="ip";e={$_.extensiondata.summary.managementserverIp}}, vCenterServer

@tdubb123, Lucd was right, you were asking the VMhost network adapter information, and not the VMhost information. That is why the vCenterServer Property stayed empty.

As to your second question, that works fine on my end. The code seems alright to me.

I dont know why under the IP and vCenterServer colums is showing the same IP

NM, I got confused with managementServerIP as the vmkernel IP (vmk0)

Thanks again
