Hello,
I'm trying to get an inventory of ESXi build, version and NIC card FW/Driver version by cluster. I like the output I get from a script I have to get the first part (ESXi build/version) by cluster, but I'm trying to add the additional NIC info columns.
The first (simple) script:
$Clusters = Get-Cluster
foreach ($Cluster in $Clusters)
{
Write-Host "##"$Cluster
$Cluster | Get-VMHost | Select @{Label = "Host"; Expression = {$_.Name}} ,
@{Label = "ESX Version"; Expression = {$_.version}},
@{Label = "ESX Build" ; Expression = {$_.build}} |
Sort-Object -Property Host | Format-Table -AutoSize -Wrap
}
That output looks like:
## cluster1
Host ESX Version ESX Build
---- ----------- ---------
host1 7.0.3 21313628
host2 7.0.3 21313628
host3 7.0.3 21313628
I also have one that kinda works to get the info I want, but because it processes each object I get headers for each object and not just
one set of headers for the cluster as a whole like above:
$Clusters = Get-Cluster
foreach ($Cluster in $Clusters)
{
Write-Host "##########"$Cluster"##########"
ForEach-Object -Process {
$Cluster | Get-VMHost -Server $_ -PipelineVariable esx |
ForEach-Object -Process {
$esxcli = Get-EsxCli -VMHost $esx -V2
$esxcli.network.nic.get.invoke(@{nicname="vmnic0"}) | select @{N = 'VMHost'; E = { $esx.Name } },
@{N = 'VMHost Product'; E = { $esx.ExtensionData.Config.Product.Name } },
@{N = 'VMHost Version'; E = { $esx.Version } },
@{N = 'VMHost Build'; E = { $esx.Build } },
@{N='Driver';E={$_.DriverINfo.Driver}},
@{N='FirmwareVersion';E={$_.DriverInfo.FirmwareVersion}},
@{N='Driver Version';E={$_.DriverInfo.Version}} |
Format-Table -AutoSize -Wrap
}
}
}
But that produces output like this:
########## cluster1##########
VMHost VMHost Product VMHost Version VMHost Build Driver FirmwareVersion Driver Version
------ -------------- -------------- ------------ ------ --------------- --------------
host1 VMware ESXi 7.0.3 21313628 i40en 7.00 0x80004feb 1.2228.0 2.2.4.0
VMHost VMHost Product VMHost Version VMHost Build Driver FirmwareVersion Driver Version
------ -------------- -------------- ------------ ------ --------------- --------------
host2 VMware ESXi 7.0.3 21313628 i40en 7.00 0x80004feb 1.2228.0 2.2.4.0
With headers for each host in the cluster. (Cause that's what the script tells it to do w/ the for-each 😑)
Any tips on getting a listing more like the first script, breaking out the headers for the cluster as a whole, but w/ the additional NIC info columns?
I'm a relative PS newbie, so please forgive me if I'm overlooking something easy/trivial.
I've looked at something like: https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-PowerCLI-Discussions/PowerCLI-Script-to-get-ESXi-Network-St...
But I can't quite get it to work.
TIA for any guidance!
