VMware-ESXI-host-inventory
This Generate Inventory build script is written in Powershell with the support of its PowerCLI module for VMware ESXi hosts. It will generate the inventory of the resources allocation on multiple ESXi hosts with running Virtual Machines. It will take the list of IP addresses of the ESXi hypervisors and fetch all required information such as:
- Zone Name
- Server / VM Hostname
- Server Model
- Serial Tag
- vCPUs
- Processor Type / Cores Per Socket
- Memory
- Disk
- Storage Path
- ILOM / IDRAC IP Addresses
- Server / Running VM IP Addresses
This script can be modified for various requirements. For successful execution, the VMware Tool should be installed for the Virtual Machines which you can verify from the GUI of the VMware ESXi hypervisors. The VM may be running but it failed to fetch the information just because of the unavailability of the VMware Tools. Furthermore, there is also a possibility that some cmdlets are not supported by the older version of ESXi or the assigned license.
