Get VM list from a datstore

Get-datastore | Where {$_.name -like ‘*DATASTORE01*’} | Get-VM

Find snapshots

Get-Snapshot -vm * -name “VEEAM BACKUP*” | Format-Table -property VM,Name

Clear snapshots

Get-Snapshot -vm * -name “VEEAM BACKUP*” | remove-snapshot

 

List VM and What Datastore

get-vmhost |get-datastore|%{$ds=$_; $ds.Extensiondata.Vm|%{$_|select @{n=’vm name’;e={(Get-View -property name -Id $_.toString()).name}},@{n=’ds name’;e={$ds.name}} }}

 

List vm in what dr group and what storage

cretae ps1 file with this:

$clusterName = ‘Cluster’

$cluster = Get-Cluster -Name $clusterName
$vmTab = @{}
Get-VM -Location $cluster | %{
$vmTab.Add($_.Name,@{
Name = $_.Name
VMGroup = @()
Rule = @()
})
}
foreach($group in (Get-DrsVMGroup -Cluster $cluster)){
$group.VM | %{
$vmTab[$_].VMGroup += $group.Name
}
}
foreach($rule in (Get-DrsVMToVMRule -Cluster $cluster)){
$rule.VM | %{
$vmTab[$_].Rule += $rule.Name
}
}

$vmTab.GetEnumerator() |
Select -ExpandProperty Value |
Select @{N=’Name’;E={$_[‘Name’]}},
@{N=’Rule’;E={$_[‘Rule’] -join ‘|’}},
@{N=’Group’;E={$_[‘VMGroup’] -join ‘|’}}
