Hi Guys,
I am trying to pull VM configuration details out of vCenter and am not having much luck with multicore vCPU machines.
When looking at lists of Virtual Machines within vSphere Client, it offers a basic "CPU Count" column and does not provide any further granularity (i.e. in terms of sockets & cores as opposed to just "CPU Count").
I thought perhaps I may have more luck using PowerCLI and for the most part, the "Get-VM" cmdlet has the type of information I am looking for, however I find it is somewhat lacking when it comes to vCPU details. Essentially it turns out not to be much better than the Virtual Machine list in vSphere Client as it only produces a "Num CPUs" value, which isn't particularly useful.
For example, if "Num CPUs" is 4, what does "4" mean? It could mean any one of the following:
- 1 x 4 core
- 2 x 2 core
- 4 x 1 core
I am hoping someone out there can assist with me producing a list of VMs with configuration details that includes both sockets & cores for vCPU?
Thanks in advance!
