Hi,

I don't think Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter can give you this information.

You can get it by using Get-EsxCli though:

(Get-EsxCli -VMHost VMHOSTNAME).network.nic.list() | Select Name, Description

Thanks!

but i have many hosts and many clusters in one Vcenter

I need a script, like this

hostname-datacentername-clustername-nameofnetworkcard(vmnic0 etc)-modelofnetworkcard

No problem.

I'm sure it can be done way more efficient, but quick and dirty:

foreach ($h in (Get-Vmhost)){(Get-EsxCli -VMHost $h).network.nic.list() | Select @{N="Host";E={$h}},@{N="DataCenter";E={$h | Get-DataCenter}},@{N="Cluster";E={$h | Get-Cluster}},Name, Description | ft}

Looks like you may have to use the Get-EsxCli cmdlet to get that information.

Here's what I would do.  You already have your list of host and network adapters (I would also specify "-Physical" on Get-VMHostNetworkAdapters to eliminate the VMkernel adapters).

$nic_info = Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter -Physical | Select VMHost, Name

$nic_collection = @()

foreach ($nic in $nic_info)

{

     $esxcli_cmd = Get-EsxCli -VMHost $nic.VMHost

     $collect_info = "" | Select VMHost, vmnic, Description

     $collect_info.VMHost = $nic.VMHost

     $collect_info.vmnic  = $nic.Name

     $collect_info.Description = ($esxcli.network.nic.list() | where {$_.Name -match $nic.Name}).Description

     $nic_collection += $collect_info

}

Write-Host $nic_collection
