The script will report the following in a nicely formatted html file: VMware ESX server Hardware and version VMware vCenter version Cluster information VMware statistics Active Snapshots CDROMs connected to VMs Floppy drives connected to VMs Datastores Information such as free space RDM information VM information such as [...]

Hugo keeps on going writing and updating his powershell scripts! This time Hugo created a script that adds a custom field to your VC with RDM disk size info: In the VMware VI Toolkit Communities, a request was made for a similar script that adds the total size of all Raw Device Mappings (RDMs) on a VM to a Custom [...]
