Hey,

I’m having some issues with retrieving multiple pieces of information via powercli. We’re managing a couple of vCenters and for easier debuging, i’m creating a webpage that will display certain pieces of information regarding the environments. I’m currently having issues with getting the vCenter hostname with a oneliner via Get-View. So far I’ve got this:

Get-View -Viewtype VirtualMachine | Select-Object -Property name, @{N='CPU';E={$_.Config.Hardware.numCPU}}, @{N='Memory';E={$_.Config.Hardware.memoryMB}}, @{N='DNSHostname';E={$_.guest.hostname}}, @{N='IP';E={$_.Guest.Net.ipconfig.ipaddress.ipaddress -join '|'}}, @{N='VMHost';E={Get-View -Id $_.Runtime.Host -Property Name | Select -ExpandProperty Name}}

But I’m unable to get the vCenter hostname via ExtensionData (probably because I’m not reaching that property the correct way?).

Also, while we’re at it, the

@{N='VMHost';E={Get-View -Id $_.Runtime.Host -Property Name | Select -ExpandProperty Name}}

is also kinda slow. Is there any way to speed this up?

I’m running
