I’ve recently had to audit and document several vSphere environments. Multiple hosts had been configured manually and there were some mistakes in the IP settings. I put together this POWERCLI function to report back on these settings and will now use it for documentation moving forward. Hopefully of some use to others too.
Connect to a host or vCenter and give it a go.
function Get-HostvMotionIP {
Param (
[string]$ESX = '*'
)
<#
.Synopsis
The Get-HostvMotionIP retrieves CW Document Information regarding iSCSI IP Addresses of ESXi hosts
.EXAMPLE
Get-HostvMotionIP
.EXAMPLE
Get-HostvMotionIP -ESX "esx1.domian.com","esx2.domain.com"
.EXAMPLE
$vMotionIPinfo = Get-HostvMotionIP | out-gridview -title vMotion IPs

}
Write-Output $vMotionAudit
