Re: PowerCLI Script that List all Clusters and their own Datastore details, Storage Baie

Jocker-H — Mon, 16 Oct 2023 09:43:12 GMT

Please note that i did try this script and there was no output related to I/O any idea why ?

# Get a list of ESXi hosts
$esxiHosts = Get-VMHost

# Get a list of ESXi clusters
$esxiClusters = Get-Cluster

# Create an array to store the data
$data = @()

# Loop through each ESXi host and add the associated datastores, size, free space, storage array, and I/O details to the data array
foreach ($esxiHost in $esxiHosts) {
$esxiHostName = $esxiHost.Name
$datastores = Get-Datastore -VMHost $esxiHost
$esxiCluster = ($esxiHost | Get-Cluster).Name

foreach ($datastore in $datastores) {
$datastoreName = $datastore.Name
$datastoreSize = $datastore.CapacityGB
$freeSpace = $datastore.FreeSpaceGB

# Get I/O details for the datastore (adjust the time period as needed)
$ioStats = Get-Stat -Entity $datastore -Stat "datastore.numberReadAveraged.average", "datastore.numberWriteAveraged.average" -MaxSamples 1 -Realtime

$data += [PSCustomObject]@{
"ESXi Host" = $esxiHostName
"Datastore" = $datastoreName
"Cluster" = $esxiCluster
"Size (GB)" = $datastoreSize
"Free Space (GB)" = $freeSpace

"Reads per second" = $ioStats | Where-Object { $_.MetricId -eq "datastore.numberReadAveraged.average" } | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Value
"Writes per second" = $ioStats | Where-Object { $_.MetricId -eq "datastore.numberWriteAveraged.average" } | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Value
}
}
}

Hello,

Is there any possibility to add a line into the below script in order to show datastore I/O value in real time ?

$esxiHosts = Get-VMHost
$esxiClusters = Get-Cluster
$data = @()
foreach ($esxiHost in $esxiHosts) {
$esxiHostName = $esxiHost.Name
$datastores = Get-Datastore -VMHost $esxiHost
$esxiCluster = ($esxiHost | Get-Cluster).Name

foreach ($datastore in $datastores) {
$data += [PSCustomObject]@{
"ESXi Host" = $esxiHostName
"Datastore" = $datastore.Name
"Cluster" = $esxiCluster
"Size (GB)" = $datastore.CapacityGB
"Free Space (GB)" = $datastore.FreeSpaceGB
"Storage Array" = $datastore.ExtensionData.Info.Url
}
}
}

$data | Format-Table -AutoSize

Thanks

Hi,

So the paramètres should be like this ?

$task = Get-VMHost -Name $esxiIP | Get-Log -Bundle -DestinationPath "C:\Logs" -RunAsync

Thanks

Hi LuckD,

The "destinationPath" parameter already receive a path. Correct me if i'm wrong :

-DestinationPath $bundleFilePath

$destinationFolder = "C:\Logs" ==> indicate the path where the logs will be saved
$bundleFilePath = Join-Path -Path $destinationFolder -ChildPath $bundleFileName

Thanks in advance

Hello Team,

Im trying to create a script PowerCLI that collect logs from specific ESXI servers into the same VCenter using this script but unfortunately it doesn't work and i dont know why !! Any suggestion please ?

$csvFilePath = "C:\esxi_info.csv"

$destinationFolder = "C:\Logs"

$esxiInfo = Import-Csv -Path $csvFilePath

foreach ($esxi in $esxiInfo) {
$esxiIP = $esxi.IP
$esxiUser = $esxi.User
$esxiPassword = $esxi.Password

# Connect to the ESXi server
Connect-VIServer -Server $esxiIP -User $esxiUser -Password $esxiPassword

# Generate the log bundle filename
$bundleFileName = "LogBundle_$($esxiIP.Replace('.', '_')).zip"
$bundleFilePath = Join-Path -Path $destinationFolder -ChildPath $bundleFileName

# Collect the log bundle
$task = Get-VMHost -Name $esxiIP | Get-Log -Bundle -DestinationPath $bundleFilePath -RunAsync

Write-Host "Collecting log bundle for ESXi host ($esxiIP)..."

# Wait for the log bundle collection task to complete
$task | Wait-Task

Write-Host "Log bundle collected for ESXi host ($esxiIP) and saved as $bundleFileName"

# Disconnect from the ESXi server
Disconnect-VIServer -Server $esxiIP -Confirm:$false
}
