VM object location listing

Hello,

I'm looking for a way for RVC to list VMs with the vSAN host they are on and the vSAN host all their objects are on.  Any pointers?

vsphere 5.5U1.

Thanks.

Paul

1. To get the list VMs using RVC,  you can simply change to vm directory location and use ls command

Example :

               /localhost/ie-datacenter-01/vms> ls

               0 test-vm-cor: poweredOff

               /localhost/ie-datacenter-01/vms>

2. By using the vsan.vm_object_info command, the objects and component layout of the new VM can now be examined in great detail. Look at how RVC report the objects and components (this command and output is the same in version 5.5. Example: /localhost/ie-datacenter-01/vms> vsan.vm_object_info 0

For more details refer to  http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/products/vsan/VSAN-Troubleshooting-Reference-Manual.pdf
