Finding VID, DID & SVID from PCI devices in ESXi

[Vineeth_K]

I am trying to get the vendor id and device id for nic and hba adapters but why I am seeing different values when compared with $esxcli.hardware.pci.list() and esxcfg-info

Here is the script I used

foreach ($esx in Get-VMHost 'sez00wtr-0625.sweng.ncr.com'| ? { $_.ConnectionState -eq 'Connected' }) {

    $esxcli = Get-EsxCli -VMHost $esx

    $nic = Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter -VMHost $esx | select -ExpandProperty Name

    $hba = Get-VMHostHba -VMHost $esx -Type FibreChannel | ? { $_.Status -eq "online" } | select -ExpandProperty Name

    $elxnet = $esxcli.software.vib.list() | ? { $_.name -eq "elxnet" }

    $esxcli.hardware.pci.list() | ? { ($nic -contains $_.VMKernelName) -or ($hba -contains $_.VMKernelName) } | ForEach-Object -Process {

        New-Object PSObject -Property (

            [ordered]@{

                Name         = $esx.Name

                Device       = $_.DeviceName

                VendorName   = $_.VendorName

                VendorID     = ( $_.VendorID)

                DeviceID     = ($_.DeviceID)

                SubVendorID  = ($_.SubVendorID)

                nicFWversion = ($esxcli.network.nic.get("vmnic0").driverinfo.version)

                stFWversion  = ($elxnet.version.substring(0, 14))

            })

    }

}

Output

Esxi Shell output:

[LucD]

The values are the same, one is displayed in decimal, the other in hex.

To display in hex format you can use the format operator

"0x{0:x}" -f ( $_.VendorID)

[Vineeth_K]

I have tried like this but its still showing incorrect value

Actual ids displayed for QLogic 10GbE 2P QMD8262-k NDC in shell are as below

Vendor Id.......................................0x1077

               |----Device Id.......................................0x8020

               |----Sub-Vendor Id...................................0x1028

               |----Sub-Device Id...................................0x1f64

Even I am unable to find vid 0x4215 in vmware Compatibility Guide

I can able to find 0x1077 which is shown in shell prompt.

[LucD]

Those values are not corretc in your output.
The decimal value 4215 is hex 1077.

[Vineeth_K]

Yeah make sense. Is there any way if i can display the values in Hexadecimal format.

[LucD]

The issue is that the output fields from Get-EsxCli in this case are of type [string].
And formatting a string to hex doesn't do anything.

You first have to convert the string to int.

New-Object PSObject -Property (

    [ordered]@{

        Name         = $esx.Name

        Device       = $_.DeviceName

        VendorName   = $_.VendorName

        VendorID     = "0x{0:x}" -f [int]$_.VendorID

        DeviceID     = "0x{0:x}" -f [int]$_.DeviceID

        SubVendorID  = "0x{0:x}" -f [int]$_.SubVendorID

        nicFWversion = ($esxcli.network.nic.get("vmnic0").driverinfo.version)

        stFWversion  = ($elxnet.version.substring(0, 14))

    })

[Vineeth_K]

Thanks this worked:smileyhappy:

[HrcoCro]

I added firmware variable and when I run the script 

New-Object PSObject -Property (
[ordered]@{

HostName = $esx.Name

Device = $_.DeviceName

VendorName = $_.VendorName

VendorID = "{0:x}" -f [int]$_.VendorID

DeviceID = "{0:x}" -f [int]$_.DeviceID

SubVendorID = "{0:x}" -f [int]$_.SubVendorID

nicFWversion = ($esxcli.network.nic.get("vmnic0").driverinfo.version)

stFWversion = ($elxnet.version.substring(0, 14))

driver = $NetworDriver.Version

firmware = $NetworkFirmware

devicename = $NetworkName

I get this output 

How can I get SDID? And why do I get "vmnic5" as device name for all devices?

Device names should be vmnic0,vmnic1, vmnic2, vmnic3, vmnic4, vmnic5, vmhba0, vmhba1

[LucD]

You use the variable $NetworkName, which I suspect contains 'vmnic5'.
Since you didn't post your complete script, I can't see why you would use that variable.

The object also contains a propertySubDeviceId, which is the SDID

[HrcoCro]

This is the whole script

foreach ($esx in Get-VMHost | ? { $_.ConnectionState -eq 'Connected' }) {
$esxcli = Get-EsxCli -VMHost $esx

$nic = Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter -VMHost $esx | select -ExpandProperty Name

$hba = Get-VMHostHba -VMHost $esx -Type FibreChannel | ? { $_.Status -eq "online" } | select -ExpandProperty Name

$elxnet = $esxcli.software.vib.list() | ? { $_.name -eq "elxnet" }

$esxcli.hardware.pci.list() | ? { ($nic -contains $_.VMKernelName) -or ($hba -contains $_.VMKernelName) } | ForEach-Object -Process {

New-Object PSObject -Property (
[ordered]@{

HostName = $esx.Name

Device = $_.DeviceName

VendorName = $_.VendorName

VendorID = "{0:x}" -f [int]$_.VendorID

DeviceID = "{0:x}" -f [int]$_.DeviceID

SubVendorID = "{0:x}" -f [int]$_.SubVendorID

nicFWversion = ($esxcli.network.nic.get("vmnic0").driverinfo.version)

stFWversion = ($elxnet.version.substring(0, 14))

driver = $NetworDriver.Version

firmware = $NetworkFirmware

devicename = $NetworkName

})

 

}| Export-Csv -Path 'C:\ESXI HBA & NIC info.csv'

}

 

I used $NetworkName from here https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-PowerCLI-Discussions/Get-HBA-firmware-and-driver-version-for-all-ESXi-hosts/m-p/1760457#M55836 

 

I have only this variables

VendorID = "{0:x}" -f [int]$_.VendorID

DeviceID = "{0:x}" -f [int]$_.DeviceID

SubVendorID = "{0:x}" -f [int]$_.SubVendorID

but don't have SubDeviceID in script. I've tried to add it in this form "SubDeviceID = "{0:x}" -f [int]$_.SubDeviceID" but didn't work.

[LucD]

Try this way.

 

$vmhosts = Get-VMHost
$report = @()
foreach ($ESXHost in $vmhosts) {
    $esxcli = Get-EsxCli -VMHost $ESXHost -V2
    $nicfirmware = $esxcli.network.nic.list.Invoke()
    $fcfirmware = $esxcli.storage.san.fc.list.Invoke()
    $driversoft = $esxcli.software.vib.list.Invoke()

    foreach ($nicfirmwareselect in $nicfirmware) {
        $NetworDescription = $nicfirmwareselect.Description
        $NetworDriver = $driversoft | where { $_.name -eq ($nicfirmwareselect.Driver) }
        $NetworkName = $nicfirmwareselect.Name
        $NetworkFirmware = $esxcli.network.nic.get.Invoke(@{nicname=$nicfirmwareselect.Name}).DriverInfo.FirmwareVersion
        $ids = $esxcli.hardware.pci.list.Invoke() | where{$_.VMKernelName -eq $NetworkName}
        $report += "" |
            select @{N = "Hostname"; E = { $ESXHost.Name } },
            @{N = "Hardware-Model"; E = { $ESXHost.Model } },
            @{N = "device"; E = { $NetworkName } },

            @{N='VendorID';E={"{0:x}" -f [int]$ids.VendorID}},
            @{N='DeviceID';E={"{0:x}" -f [int]$ids.DeviceID}},
            @{N='SubVendorID';E={"{0:x}" -f [int]$ids.SubVendorID}},
            @{N='SubDeviceId';E={"{0:x}" -f [int]$ids.SubDeviceID}}

    }
    foreach ($fcfirmwareselect in $fcfirmware) {
        $fcDescription = $fcfirmwareselect.ModelDescription
        $fcDriver = $driversoft | where { $_.name -eq ($fcfirmwareselect.DriverName) }
        $fcName = $fcfirmwareselect.Adapter
        $fcFirmware = $fcfirmwareselect.FirmwareVersion
        $ids = $esxcli.hardware.pci.list.Invoke() | where{$_.VMKernelName -eq $fcName}
        $report += "" |
            select @{N = "Hostname"; E = { $ESXHost.Name } },
            @{N = "Hardware-Model"; E = { $ESXHost.Model } },
            @{N = "device"; E = { $fcName } },
            @{N = "driver"; E = { $fcDriver.Version } },
            @{N = "firmware"; E = { $fcFirmware } },
            @{N = "description"; E = { $fcDescription } },
            @{N='VendorID';E={"{0:x}" -f [int]$ids.VendorID}},
            @{N='DeviceID';E={"{0:x}" -f [int]$ids.DeviceID}},
            @{N='SubVendorID';E={"{0:x}" -f [int]$ids.SubVendorID}},
            @{N='SubDeviceId';E={"{0:x}" -f [int]$ids.SubDeviceID}}
    }
}

PS: next time don't piggy-back on existing threads with new requirements, but rather create a new thread.
That allows other users to more easily find such questions.

[HrcoCro]

That's it, that's what I need, thank you!

Just one more thing, do you know why it won't list VID,DID,SVID & SDID for hba's?

 

Sorry for piggy-backing on existing threads, I thought it would be better to reply to the similar thread then opening a new one.

Won't happen again

[LucD]

I suspect my type ($fckName instead $fcName) caused that.
I updated the code above.

No problem, you can always include a link to the original post for which you have an additional requirement

[HrcoCro]

Yes, now it works like a charm!

Thank you once again!

Hi  

Looking to update the script to pull the hba/firmware details on a vSAN environment and when I update the string '$esxcli.storage.san.sas.list.Invoke()' to use sas it still doesn't pull any information on the hosts. Is there an additional switch I'm missing here?

$vmhosts = Get-VMHost 
$report = @()
foreach ($ESXHost in $vmhosts) {
$esxcli = Get-EsxCli -VMHost $ESXHost -V2
$nicfirmware = $esxcli.network.nic.list.Invoke()
$fcfirmware = $esxcli.storage.san.sas.list.Invoke()
$driversoft = $esxcli.software.vib.list.Invoke()

Thanks in advance

[LucD]

Have a look in Jase's POWERCLI COOKBOOK FOR VMWARE VSAN?

[devs159]

Hi LucD - nothing in the cookbook relating to hba firmware or any firmware specific commands on a vSAN environment.

Running 'esxcli storage san sas list' gets the relevant details for the f/w and driver version so just looking to pull this via a script then.

[devs159]

Hi  

I'm using the following script to get the HBA details now however it fails to pull the firmware version on 'lsi_msgpt3' driver types. Is this a switch I'm missing to collect this information?

$vcenter = "vctest"

Connect-VIServer $vcenter
$vmhosts = Get-VMHost | Where {$_.Connectionstate -eq "Connected"}
$reportHba = @()

foreach ($vmhost in $vmhosts){

$esxcli = Get-EsxCli -VMHost $vmhost -V2
$reportHba += $esxcli.Storage.san.sas.list.Invoke()|

select @{N = 'HostName'; E = {$esxcli.VMHost.Name}},

DeviceName, DriverName, DriverVersion, FirmwareVersion
}

$reportHba | Export-Csv -Path 'S:\Scripts\Hbainfo.csv' -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture

Sample output included below where you can see the driver version pulled successfully for llsi_mr3 but no info. displayed for :lsi_msgpt3

HostName : server1
DeviceName : vmhba0
DriverName : lsi_msgpt3
DriverVersion : 16.00.01.00
FirmwareVersion :

HostName : server2
DeviceName : vmhba0
DriverName : lsi_mr3
DriverVersion : 7.708.07.00
FirmwareVersion : 25.5.7.0005

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

[HrcoCro]

Hi LucD,

This script worked great on HP esxi hosts.

Now I have Dell hosts and some fields are blank, can you tell me why?

 

[LucD]

This is a known issue for some HW vendors and some of their specific HW types.
Best course of action would be to contact your HW vendor.
It might be a VIB missing or an incorrect version.

[mike-p]

It seems a problem with the powershell command. If you use 'esxcli hardware pci list' at the host the output is correct:

0000:1b:00.0
Address: 0000:1b:00.0
Segment: 0x0000
Bus: 0x1b
Slot: 0x00
Function: 0x0
Vendor Name: VMware Inc.
Device Name: vmxnet3 Virtual Ethernet Controller

Current Owner: VMkernel
Vendor ID: 0x15ad
Device ID: 0x07b0
SubVendor ID: 0x15ad
SubDevice ID: 0x07b0
Device Class: 0x0200

In the csv the fields are empty :
