Powershell – get datastore disk usage rather than total VM disk usage

This post was originally published on this site

Hi.  Thanks to LucD I am progressing with my script to get vCenter details but the one bit I am stuck on is with regard to the datastore disk usage particularly if a VM has more than one VMDK and they are on separate datastores.

 

At the moment, I am using the code below to get the datastore names:

 

(Get-View -Id $vm.Datastore -Property Name).Name -join “|”

 

and the code below to get the VM diskspace usage:

 

[math]::Round(($vm.Storage.PerDatastoreUsage.Committed | Measure-Object -Sum).Sum/1GB,1)

 

What I would like to do is get the disk size for each VMDK.  For example if a VM has 2 x VMDKs on separate datastores, I would like the report to show:

 

datastore1          50Gb

datastore2          30Gb

 

Any ideas please?
