PowerCLI - How to get cluster resource information


Get cluster available resources and usage

Get-Cluster -Name ClusterName | get-vmhost | select Name, NumCpu, CpuUsageMhz, CPUTotalMhz, MemoryUsageGB, MemoryTotalGB | Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture -Path c:\test\vent1.csv

Get all datastores per cluster

foreach ($cluster in Get-Cluster){Add-content fi $cluster.Name; Get-cluster -name $cluster.Name | Get-Datastore | select Name, FreeSpaceGB, CapacityGB}

Get all datastores per cluster and export to txt file

foreach ($cluster in Get-Cluster){Add-content "C:\test\test.txt" "$cluster"; Add-Content "C:\test\test.txt" "Name, FreeSpaceGB, CapacityGB"; $d=Get-cluster -name $cluster.Name | Get-Datastore | select Name, FreeSpaceGB, CapacityGB; $d | % {add-content "c:\test\test.txt" "$($_.Name), $($_.FreeSpaceGB), $($_.CapacityGB)"}}

Get count of all hosts cpu cores

Get-Cluster -Name SharedEnterprisePlus01 | Get-VMHost | Measure-Object -Property NumCpu -Sum | select -ExpandProperty Sum

Get list of all NOT empty resource pools in the cluster based on pool's VM's cpu count

$ResourcePools = Get-Cluster -Name ClusterName | Get-ResourcePool
foreach ($Pool in $ResourcePools){$a = Get-ResourcePool -Name $Pool.Name | Get-VM | Measure-Object -Property NumCpu -Sum | select -ExpandProperty Sum; if($a -gt 0) {$Pool.Name}}

Get list of all VMs which have "prod" in their name and summary information about disk size

$a = get-vm | where{$_.Name -like "*prod*"}; foreach ($v in $a) {Write-Host $v.Name; Get-HardDisk -vm $v.name | Measure-Object -Property CapacityGB -Sum | select -ExpandProperty Sum}

Get list of all VMs which have "prod" in their name and summary information about disk size and write to txt file. I've used Write-Host commands to display output on the screen too.

$a = get-vm; foreach ($v in $a) {$s = Get-HardDisk -vm $v.name | Measure-Object -Property CapacityGB -Sum | select -ExpandProperty Sum; $s | %{Add-Content "d:\iso\vm.txt" "$($v.Name), $($_)"}; Write-Host $v.Name; Write-Host $s}
