Check if disks are 'Indipendent'

[antoniogemelli]

Hello, I would like to extract (csv file) some parameter about disks from a list of vm (txt),

From this base:

Get-VM |Select Name,VMHost | Where-Object {$_.name -like "*vm1*" } | Export-Csv -Path C:\Users\gemela\Desktop\vm_info.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture

I would like to get: Disk and info about Virtual Device Node, If there are setting to be Independent , Persistent or NonPersistent

Thanks

Get-vm 'vm1' | get-harddisk

that will give you the persistence property

If you want to put more data together you will need to run a loop to gather the data you want and place it in your excel file.

$vms = @('vm1','vm2')
foreach($vm in $vms) {
     $hdproperty = (get-VM $vm | get-harddisk).persistence
     #add the excel code here
}

You could do something like this

Get-VM -Name (Import-Csv -Path C:\Users\gemela\Desktop\vm_info.csv -UseCulture).Name |

Get-HardDisk |

Select @{N='VM';E={$_.Parent.Name}},Name,Persistence,

   @{N='DeviceNode';E={

   $hd = $_

   $ctrl = $hd.Parent.Extensiondata.Config.Hardware.Device |

   where{$_.Key -eq $hd.ExtensionData.ControllerKey}

   "$($ctrl.BusNumber):$($_.ExtensionData.UnitNumber)"}}
