    Is it possible to create a script to show which ESXi host has directpath IO support in vsphere 5.0u2. I say support because in VC it shows supported or not supported.

    Hello, twindude-


    Looks like the property on a host object that corresponds to the DirectPath I/O "supported" or "not supported" is in the Capability property.  So, something like the following should get the info that you are after:

    Get-VMHost | Select Name, @{n="DirectPathIOSupported"; e={$_.ExtensionData.Capability.VmDirectPathGen2Supported}}

    The output would be something like:

    Name         DirectPathIOSupported
    ----       ---------------------
    myhost0.dom.com            True


    How does that do for you?

    Alright, good to hear.

    As for getting it to a text file, you can just pipe the output to something like Export-Csv.
