Re: Cannot filter Datastores by Cluster using PowerCLI

I found a solution some time ago. Thanks for following up. This is what I ended up doing:

# Goes Through Entire vCenter and gets individual SAN data

Function Get-AllSANData($vcenter, $fileName, $MyDirectory) {

    $WarningPreference = "SilentlyContinue"

    Connect-VIServer $vcenter -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -ErrorVariable ConnectError | Out-Null

    write-host "Extracting SAN data from" $vcenter "..."

    write-host "This will take some time, stop staring at me and go do something else..."

    # Loop through each Datacenter in the vCenter - MoRef is the ID

    ForEach ($datacenter in Get-View -ViewType Datacenter | Select -Property Name,MoRef) {

        # Loop through each Cluster in the Datacenter

        ForEach ($cluster in Get-View -ViewType ClusterComputeResource -SearchRoot $datacenter.MoRef | Select -Property Name,Datastore) {

            # Create Datastore view and Loop through each datastore in the cluster

            ForEach ($datastore in $cluster.Datastore) {

                $ds = Get-View -Id $datastore | Select -Property Name,Host,Summary,Info # Create Datastore view with current Datastore in Cluster

                $hostcount = $ds.Host.Length # Num of Hosts associated with this SAN Volume

                if ($hostcount -lt 2) { continue } # Ignore Boot Volumes

                $type = $ds | %{$_.Summary.Type} # The type needs to be VMFS, not interesting in NAS or any other type

                # Don't filter for VDT Recons - need NFS Storage as well

                if ($type -ne "VMFS") { continue }

                $lunsize = $ds | %{[decimal]::round($_.Summary.Capacity / 1GB)} # Capacity in Bytes converted to GB

                $free = $ds | %{[decimal]::round($_.Summary.FreeSpace / 1GB)} # Free Space in Bytes converted to GB

                $uncommitted = $ds | %{[decimal]::round($_.Summary.Uncommitted / 1GB)} # Uncommitted Storage in Bytes converted to GB

                $provisioned = ($lunsize - $free + $uncommitted)

                $majorversion = $ds | %{$_.Info.Vmfs.MajorVersion} # Major VMFS Version (5.blah = 5) you get the idea

                $upperVC = $vcenter.ToString().ToUpper()

                $upperCL = $cluster.Name.ToString().ToUpper()

                $upperDS = $ds.Name.ToString().ToUpper()

                write-host $datacenter.Name . $upperCL . $upperDS . $lunsize . $provisioned . $free . $type . $majorversion . $hostcount

                # Output Data to CSV (file is located in same directory that the script runs from)

                $record = $datacenter.Name+","+$upperCL+","+$upperDS+","+$lunsize+","+$provisioned+","+$free+","+$type+","+$majorversion+","+$hostcount

                $record | Out-File -Append $MyDirectory\SANpulls\$fileName -Encoding ASCII

            }

        }   

    }
