How to get the VM name and the associated nic card

[vcpguy]

Hi, I am trying to get the VM name and associated nic card type but I don't see the correct result. Can someone please look into it and tell me how to make it work. I am still new to Powershell

[vSphere PowerCLI] C:\> get-vm | Where-Object {$_.Networkadapters -eq "vmxnet3"}

The above cmd gives no output. I want it should list all the VM names and there NIC type.

Thanks

This should get you the info that you need:

Get-VM | Get-NetworkAdapter | foreach ($_) { Write-Host $_.Parent.Name "("$_.Name") type:" $_.Type }

But in larger environments it may be helpful to throw the info into a table that you can export later or look at one NIC at a time:

$myVMs = Get-VM

$allNics = @()

foreach ($vm in $myVMs) {

$myNics = Get-NetworkAdapter $vm

foreach ($nic in $myNics) {

$nicInfo = "" | Select "VM","Nic","NicType"

$nicInfo."VM" = $vm.Name

$nicInfo."Nic" = $nic.Name

$nicInfo."NicType" = $nic.Type

$allNics += $nicInfo

}

}

$allNics
