Esxi/Esx host hardware info

[vin01]

Hi

is it possible to get host hardware info like below using powercli..

Ip,Hostname,

Hardware,

Bios version,

model,

cpu Family,

biosversion,

Fc card model and version

[kunaludapi]

For Ip,Hostname, Hardware, Bios version, model, cpu Family, biosversion

Get-VMHost | Select-object Name,`

        @{N="IPAddress"; E={($_ | Get-VMHostNetwork).VirtualNic | Where-Object {$_.ManagementTrafficEnabled}}},`

        Manufacturer, Model, ProcessorType, @{N="BIOS version";E={$_.ExtensionData.Hardware.BiosInfo.BiosVersion}}`

        @{N="HBA";E={$_.ExtensionData.Hardware.BiosInfo.BiosVersion}}

for FC card details try below command.

Get-VMHosthba

[vin01]

so can you please help me out  to insert Get-vmhosthba to the above script to get Fc card model and version at once..

[kunaludapi]

Script was ready but i had to try it on the real HBA card, I tested it now.

Get-VMHost | Select-object Name, @{N="IPAddress"; E={($_ | Get-VMHostNetwork).VirtualNic | Where-Object {$_.ManagementTrafficEnabled}}}, Manufacturer, Model, ProcessorType, @{N="BIOS version";E={$_.ExtensionData.Hardware.BiosInfo.BiosVersion}}, @{N="HBA Model";E={($_ | get-vmhosthba -Type FibreChannel | select-object -ExpandProperty Model) -join ", "}}, @{N="Driver";E={($_ | get-vmhosthba -Type FibreChannel | select-object -ExpandProperty Driver) -join ", "}}

I have taken FC Driver as a FC version, I will check further and get back.

Get-Datacenter -name <DatacenterName> | Get-Cluster -Name <ClusterName> | Get-VMHost | Select-object Name, 
        @{N="IPAddress"; E={($_ | Get-VMHostNetwork).VirtualNic | Where-Object {$_.ManagementTrafficEnabled} | Select-Object -ExpandProperty IP}}, 
        Manufacturer, 
        Model, 
        ProcessorType, 
        @{N="BIOS version";E={$_.ExtensionData.Hardware.BiosInfo.BiosVersion}}, 
        @{N="HBA Model";E={($_ | get-vmhosthba -Type FibreChannel | select-object -ExpandProperty Model) -join ", "}}, 
        @{N="Driver";E={($_ | get-vmhosthba -Type FibreChannel | select-object -ExpandProperty Driver) -join ", "}}

I have added datacenter and cluster at the start of the script you will need to provide names.

[vin01]

at output in place of

Name          :

  it is showing ip address only not host name any change to put hostname.

[kunaludapi · Accepted solution]

It is because your esxihost are connected to vcenter by IP addresses not the name.

This will do the trick.

Get-VMHost | Select-object @{N="HostName";E={ $_ | Get-VMHostNetwork | select -ExpandProperty Hostname}},
        @{N="IPAddress"; E={($_ | Get-VMHostNetwork).VirtualNic | Where-Object {$_.ManagementTrafficEnabled} | Select-Object -ExpandProperty IP}},
        Manufacturer,
        Model,
        ProcessorType,
        @{N="BIOS version";E={$_.ExtensionData.Hardware.BiosInfo.BiosVersion}},
        @{N="HBA Model";E={($_ | get-vmhosthba -Type FibreChannel | select-object -ExpandProperty Model) -join ", "}},
        @{N="Driver";E={($_ | get-vmhosthba -Type FibreChannel | select-object -ExpandProperty Driver) -join ", "}}
