Find Datastore name by VM disk SCSI number

[qwert1235]

I wonder if there is a way to write a script that finds Datastore name if I have VM name and VM disk SCSI number (0:2, for example)?

Thanks a lot!

Try something like this

Get-VM | Get-HardDisk | 
Select @{N="VM";E={$_.Parent.Name}}, Name,
@{N="Datastore";E={$_.Datastore}},
@{N="SCSI Id";E={[string](Get-ScsiController -Harddisk $_).ExtensionData.BusNumber + ":" + [string]$_.UnitNumber}}

Luc,

Thanks a lot!

However, when I am running your script it does not seem grabing "UnitNumber" (SCSI Id always 0: ) and Datastore field is always blank as well.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

qwert

Which PowerCLI version are your running ?

Do a

Get-PowerCLIVersion

And your VMs are on VMFS datastores, not NFS I assume ?

I have VMware vSphere PowerCLI 5.0 build 435427

Actually, I am using VMs on both storage types - VMFS and NFS.  Is it matter?

Thank you!

Afaik I does, on a NFS datastore that script I gave will not work.

Not that it matters in this case, but you should perhaps consider upgarding to PowerCLI 5.1
