Hello,
I'm creating reporting script (aren't we all) to server various VMware environments, and one thing to get reported would be ESXi installation type.
This is possible via SSH running "esxcfg-info -e" ( Determining the ESXi installation type (2014558) | VMware KB )
Problem is that esxcfg-info does not have PowerCLI equivalent out of the box. I found William Lams script for this: Using the vSphere API to remotely collect ESXi esxcfg-info | virtuallyGhetto
But the output info from this does not hold "boot type" or "visor-" info, which I could parse out.
Has anyone done this kind of info pull with PowerCLI so far?
The obvious step is (in case type is visor-thin) to see if ESXi host is installed on local disk or SAN LUN. KB article for this is Identifying ESXi/ESX boot LUNs for Boot From SAN configurations (2030957) | VMware KB
