Thanks now csv is generated. You are right Path Id for a datastore can be different per VMHost. So this one we donot required. can it possible to have datastore LUN number  all added in new Column.

Thanks for LuCD Really appreciate for the quick reply ... Script is running but not sure where its getting saved in csv format. (searced in desktop and C drive too not found the CSV output) and also if we can add few more columns like  next to   @{N='Type';E={"$($_.Type)$($_.ExtensionData.Info.Vmfs.MajorVersion)"}}    Name Identifier Path ID LUN DELL Fibre Channel Disk (naa.690b11c0003d8d6600000887519c23fa) naa.690b11c0003d8d6600000887519c23fa vmhba1:C0:T0:L21 101
