PowerCLI command

[Miguel Munoz]

Hello, please help. I need a command that, when I enter a VM name, tells me the host, cluster, and VCSA where the VM is instantiated.

I have tried:
Get-VM vmname | Select Name, PowerState, @{N=‘VMHost’;E={$_.VMHost.Name}}

But it does not return a value for “VMHost.”

I appreciate your help.

it works for me. Do you work with multiple vcenters connections? If yes, disconnect from all and connect to just the one needed, as a test. To get also the VCSA try:

Get-VM vmname | Select Name, PowerState, @{N='VMHost';E={$_.VMHost.Name}}, @{N='VCSA';E={$_.Uid.Split('@')[1].Split(':')[0]}}

Hello,
Works fine with :
get-vm myvm | select Name, PowerState, @{N='VMHost';E={$_.VMHost}}

You can fetch data you need using this command:

Get-VM -Name "vmname" | Select-Object `
Name,
@{N="Host";E={$_.VMHost.Name}},
@{N="Cluster";E={$_.VMHost.Parent.Name}},
@{N="vCenter";E={$global:DefaultVIServer.Name}}
