Bus Sharing report with powerCLI script .

What is bus sharing?

SCSI Bus Sharing (virtual) is a function in VMware vSphere which allows two virtual machines to share a single virtual machine disk. It’s similar in the real world to a directly connected storage to two physical machines using a SAS controller.

 

Bus Sharing powerCLI script :

Open the PowerCLI icon (Run as Administrator) and you can execute commands manually, run scripts manually or automate your scripts with Task Scheduler (see below).

#Enter vcenter name

$vcServer = "Vcenter.test.com"

#Enter cluster name

$cluster = "Cluster_Namme"

Connect-VIServer $vcServer | Out-Null

#Create the array

$array = @()

# Please add cluster name for example here we have used abcrd111.

$vms = get-cluster $cluster | get-vm

#Loop for BusSharingMode

foreach ($vm in $vms)

{

$disks = $vm | Get-ScsiController | Where-Object {$_.BusSharingMode -eq ‘Physical’ -or $_.BusSharingMode -eq ‘Virtual’}

foreach ($disk in $disks){

$REPORT = New-Object -TypeName PSObject

$REPORT | Add-Member -type NoteProperty -name Name -Value $vm.Name

$REPORT | Add-Member -type NoteProperty -name VMHost -Value $vm.VMHost

$REPORT | Add-Member -type NoteProperty -name Mode -Value $disk.BusSharingMode

$REPORT | Add-Member -type NoteProperty -name Type -Value “BusSharing”

#it will display the table with the vm names and its details.

$array += $REPORT

}

}

$array | out-gridview

 

Note : It will display the table with the vm names and its details.
