This is a sort of follow-up on ESXi: listing virtual machines with their IP addresses where we ended with this:
I modified the above script to become this:
#!/bin/sh vmids=`vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms | sed -n -E -e "s/^([[:digit:]]+)s+((S.+S)?)s+([S+])s+(.+.vmx)s+(S+)s+(vmx-[[:digit:]]+)s*?((S.+)?)$/1/p"` for vmid in ${vmids} ; do # powerState values: # Powered off # Powered on # Suspended powerState=`vim-cmd vmsvc/power.getstate ${vmid} | sed '1d'` name=`vim-cmd vmsvc/get.config ${vmid} | sed -n -E -e '/(vim.vm.ConfigInfo) {/,/files = (vim.vm.FileInfo) {/ s/^ +name = "(.*)",.*?/1/p'` vmPathName=`vim-cmd vmsvc/get.config ${vmid} | sed -n -E -e '/files = (vim.vm.FileInfo) {/,/tools = (vim.vm.ToolsConfigInfo) {/ s/^ +vmPathName = "(.*)",.*?/1/p'` # For now, I choose to use only the IPv4 main address from ipAddress, which is in between (vim.vm.GuestInfo) { and net = (vim.vm.GuestInfo.NicInfo) [. ipAddress=`vim-cmd vmsvc/get.guest ${vmid} | sed -n -E -e '/(vim.vm.GuestInfo) {/,/net = (vim.vm.GuestInfo.NicInfo) [/ s/^ +ipAddress = "(.*)",.*?/1/p'` printf "VM with id %3s has power state %-11s and IPv4=%-15s (name = ${name}; vmPathName = ${vmPathName}).n" "${vmid}" "${powerState}" "${ipAddress}" done
Now the script grew even larger in to vim-cmd-list-all-VMs-with-IPv4-MAC-uuid.sh:
