[PandzicM]

Hello

I am looking for powershell script that will run across multiple virtual centers and gather info about esx hosts current state with script out that will poduce esxi  host name, state (maintenance mode,disconnected,not-responding), cluster name and virtual center in cvs format.

I am running PS 5.1 and learning how to.

Thanks for assistance.

Something like this?

foreach($vc in $global:DefaultVIServers){

    Get-Cluster -Server $vc -PipelineVariable cluster |

    Get-VMHost -Server $vc |

    Select @{N='vCenter';E={$vc.Name}},@{N='Cluster';E={$cluster.Name}},Name,State

}

Hi LucD

For some reason when I connect to multiple vcenters and started your script ( that I will need to  produce esxi  host name, state (maintenance mode,disconnected,not-responding), cluster name and virtual center in cvs format) I got report from only first connected vcenter and script complete and also script out did no save out info in csv format.

can you help me here to complete task?

Thank You very much

Can you check with Get-PowerCLIConfiguration how the DefaultVIServerMode is configured?

It should say 'Multiple' to allow parallel vCenter connections.

If not, change it with

Set-PowerCLIConfiguration -DefaultVIServerMode Multiple -Confirm:$false

Hi LucD

I set mode as you suggested and still is giving me output from only first connected vcenter to then script stopped

execution policy is also set to remotesigned

When you connected to all the vCenters, what is in $global:DefaultVIServers
