Mapping datastore canonical name to friendly name

[E4F]

Is there a way to map the datastore canonical name to friendly name?  I can't seem to find a way to do this and can't find anything on the web to show me how either.  Any ideas?

Hi E4F,

the next PowerCLI script will map the canonical name to the datastore name:

Get-View -Viewtype Datastore -Property Name,Info | Foreach-Object {
  $Datastore = $_
  if ($Datastore.Info.GetType().Name -eq "VmfsDatastoreInfo") {
    $Datastore.Info.Vmfs.Extent | `
      Select-Object -Property @{N="CanonicalName";E={$_.DiskName}},

        @{N="Datastore";E={$Datastore.name}}
  }
}
