NAME Get-VMHostStorage
SYNOPSIS
This cmdlet retrieves the host storages on a vCenter Server system.
SYNTAX
Get-VMHostStorage -Id <String[]> [-Server <VIServer[]>] [<CommonParameters>]
Get-VMHostStorage [-VMHost] <VMHost[]> [-Refresh] [-RescanAllHba] [-RescanVmfs] [-Server <VIServer[]>]
[<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
This cmdlet retrieves the host storages on a vCenter Server system. The cmdlet returns a list of the storages on
the hosts specified by the VMHost parameter. To specify a server different from the default one, use the Server
parameter.
PARAMETERS
-Id <String[]>
Specifies the IDs of the host storages that you want to retrieve.
Note: When a list of values is specified for the Id parameter, the returned objects would have an ID that
matches exactly one of the string values in that list.
Required? true
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Refresh [<SwitchParameter>]
Indicates whether the cmdlet refreshes the storage system information before retrieving the specified host
storages.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-RescanAllHba [<SwitchParameter>]
Indicates whether to issue a request to rescan all virtual machine hosts bus adapters for new storage devices
prior to retrieving the storage information.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-RescanVmfs [<SwitchParameter>]
Indicates whether to perform a re-scan for new virtual machine file systems that might have been added, prior
to retrieving the storage information.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Server <VIServer[]>
Specifies the vCenter Server systems on which you want to run the cmdlet. If no value is passed to this
parameter, the command runs on the default servers. For more information about default servers, see the
description of Connect-VIServer.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? true
-VMHost <VMHost[]>
Specifies the hosts for which you want to retrieve storage information.
Required? true
Position? 1
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters? true
<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see
about_CommonParameters (https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).
INPUTS
OUTPUTS
Zero or more VMHostStorageInfo objects
NOTES
The ScsiLun property of the VMHostStorageInfo object is deprecated and scheduled for removal.
-------------------------- Example 1 --------------------------
Get-VmHostStorage -VMHost 10.23.112.234 -Refresh
Retrieves storage information from the virtual machine host with IP address 10.23.112.234.
-------------------------- Example 2 --------------------------
Get-VMHostStorage | select -expandproperty scsilun | fl *
Retrieves information about the vendor, model, and serial number of the virtual machine host storage SCSI adapter.
Note that for devices, that are not SCSI-3 compliant, the SerialNumber property is not defined. And not all
SCSI-3 compliant devices provide the serial number information.
