VMware.log files in PowerCLI

i've been thinking for a while to see whether or not the numa configuration of the majority of the VMs in the infrastructure currently fit their respective host numa node profiles. One way to do this would be to do the following

  1. get the vms cores / cores per socket = sockets
  2. Use 1 to go against the numa config of the host using get-esxcli
  3. Compare the two

Then i saw this post:

Is there any way to simply pull Vmware.log to see what the VM is actually using? From reading the 5.1 CPU Scheduler whitepaper i remember seeing that the VM will not resize the numa node once given, so not sure how much help this scirpt will be other than to prove we need to change provisioning practices.

You can use the function from my Virtual Machine logging post.
