Trying to export VMs and their associated Datastore names to CSV

[jward_]

Trying to export VMs and their associated Datastore names to CSV but for the datastore I just extract the "Array name" from the Datastore name. The array name always starts with "P" and has 2 numbers after but the number of characters before, differers.

Please help for the sake of my head (banging on desk)!!

Example:

ServerA   NPR_Cluster5_P55_200

ServerB   PR_Cluster12_P77_350

I want:

ServerA   P55

ServerB.  P77

 

$Report=@()

 

$clusters = Get-Cluster | where {$_.Name -like "*BAK*"}

foreach ($cluster in $clusters){

 

 

$VMs = $cluster | Get-VM | where {$_.Guest -like "*Windows*"}

 

 

foreach ($VM in $VMs){

 

$datastore = $VM | Get-Datastore | Select-Object -ExpandProperty name -First 1

$VMGuest = $VM.ExtensionData.Guest.GuestFullName

 

 

$Details ="" | Select VMName,Cluster,Datastore

$Details.VMName =$VM.Name

$Details.Cluster = $VM.VMHost.Parent

$Details.Datastore = $datastore

$Report +=$Details

}

}

 

$Report | Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation C:\temp\r_VM_to_Array.csv

Try with

        $Details.Datastore = "$($datastore.Split(' ')[0]) $($datastore.Split('_')[2])"

LucD,

Thank you! That kinda works. It still has the datastore name in front of the Array. Any way we can remove the Datastore name from the output and leave the Array?

I'm confused, what is the datastore name?
Is it "ServerA   NPR_Cluster5_P55_200" or "NPR_Cluster5_P55_200"?
If it is the latter then the line should be

        $Details.Datastore = $datastore.Split('_')[2]

[jward_]

the Datastore name is "NPR_Cluster5_P55_200" 

I am trying to just get the Array from the name, which is "P55"

your edit did that but it also left the datastore name at the beginning which looked like this "NPR_Cluster5_P55_200 P55"

Also with the updated line in my previous reply?

BOOM! That works! You rock LucD!

 

Thank you!
