Hi
I want to collect some info about my VM
I used get-vm
but it does not show the size of vhd file so I have to use expand properties of disk object
also I need to get my vm IP
so I have to use expand-properties network
but for each one I use in separate cmdlet and I get separate out put
the question
how can I combine more than one expand- properties in single script
so I have single line of out put
vmname vhd size ip
thanks
Hey it,
Are you saying that you only want the information from your own vm? If so, and you’re absolutely sure you’ll never have more than one ip address and more than one vhd, then you could use this.
Otherwise, you’ll need to cover more than one line with your data.
Import-Module HyperV
$vm = Get-VM -Name machinename
$ip = $vm |
Get-VirtualNetworkAdapter |
Select-Object -ExpandProperty ipv4Addresses
$vhd = $vm | Get-VirtualDiskDrive
$vhdSize = $vhd[0].VirtualHardDisk[0].MaximumSize/1GB
$newObj = [pscustomobject] @{
vm = $vm
ip = $ip
vhdsize = $vhdSize
}
$newObj
Hi Tim
thanks for your quick reply
actually I want to collect info about all the VMs
so I though if I could do it for one I can do it for many, that why I said my vm
but after I read your script I notice I was wrong
as you need to do some looping and if statement which I’m not good at it yet
1- I have many hyper-v servers
2- some vms having more than one IP
3- some vm having more than one VHD
get-vm -computername (get-content “c:\serverslist.txt”)
this the first step
how can I do IPs and VHDs for all vms from the above out put
thanks again for your time and support
Hello,
Something else you could try, it may however still involve looping as you have many machines.
I don’t the exact commands to hand but it would be something like this.
Get-VM -Name TestMachine | Select -ExpandObject Name, @{n=‘Disk Size’; e={$.Disks.DiskSize}}, @{n=‘Drive Letter’; e={$.Disks.DriveLetter}}
Sorry I don’t have a Hyper-V Machine to give the exact commands but hopefully that gives you an idea of being able to do multiple expand objects.
ExpandProperty I mean
here is all the options of get-vm there is no Disks option
only Harddives and even that it does not have size as properties
I have to use get-vhd which made it hard as it need VMID not vmname
