Gettting all Networkt Adapter info from all our VMs

[edelldieguez]

Hi Guys,

I'm playing with this script trying to get all the network info from our VMs, i can find that info but from one vm at a time, can i have something to get that info from all my VMs in the cluster ??

Here the script: Get-NetworkAdapter -VM "VM_NAME"

Thanks in advance.

You can get the network adapters of all VM's with:

Get-VM | Get-NetworkAdapter | Select-Object -Property *

For all VMs in a cluster, you can do

Get-Cluster -Name MyCluster | Get-VM | Get-NetworkAdapter

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your reply.

Any way to modify the script to get this info and exported to a .csv format?, few VMs in our cluster have more than one NIC card.

VM Name :  NIC Name : NIC Type : Network Name : Connection State : MAC Address : WakeOnLine Enable

Thanks in advance LucD and Robert.

The next script lists the required properties of the network adapters of all VM's of cluster MyCluster to a csv file called NetworkAdapters.csv.

Get-Cluster -Name MyCluster | Get-VM | Get-NetworkAdapter | `
Select-Object -Property `
@{N="VM Name";E={$_.Parent}},
@{N="NIC Name";E={$_.Name}},
@{N="NIC Type";E={$_.Type}},
@{N="Network Name";E={$_.NetworkName}},
@{N="Connection State";E={$_.ConnectionState}},
@{N="MAC Address";E={$_.MacAddress}},
@{N="WakeOnLan Enabled";E={$_.WakeOnLanEnabled}} | `
Export-Csv -Path NetworkAdapters.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture

Thanks guys, exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks.

The virtual machine names aren't coming through for me on this one:

"VM Name","NIC Name","MAC Address"

,"Network adapter 1","00:50:56:99:78:53"

,"Network adapter 1","00:50:56:81:0d:b2"

Script:

Get-VM | Get-NetworkAdapter | `
Select-Object -Property `
@{N="VM Name";E={$_.Parent}},
@{N="NIC Name";E={$_.Name}},
@{N="MAC Address";E={$_.MacAddress}} | `
Export-Csv -Path NetworkAdapters.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture

(I didn't need the extra info and needed it for each VM under the VC, so altered the script a bit).

Check your PowerCLI version.

Do a

Get-PowerCLIVersion

[mark_chuman]

Looks like 4.0, U1.

PowerCLI Version
----------------
VMware vSphere PowerCLI 4.0 U1 build 208462

I read the installation guides for newer versions of PowerCLI and saw this, which conflicts with some of our environment (Some ESX still at 3.5, U4).

vSphere PowerCLI is compatible with the following VMware environments:

vSphere PowerCLI is compatible with the following VMware environments:
 VMware ESX 4.1/vCenter Server 4.1
 VMware ESXi 4.1
 VMware ESX 4.0 Update 1/vCenter Server 4.0 Update 1
 VMware ESXi 4.0 Update 1
 VMware ESX 3.5 Update 5
 VMware ESXi 3.5 Update 5

We have VC 4.1 managing ESX (3.5U4,4.0U1)
