Function Get-CompatibleVSANController {
if (-Not $vSANHCL) {
$vSANHCL = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri http://partnerweb.vmware.com/service/vsan/all.json | ConvertFrom-Json
}
$vSANHCL.data.controller
}
$HBAs = get-vmhost | Get-VMHostPciDevice | where { $_.DeviceClass -eq "MassStorageController" }
Foreach ($HBA in $HBAs) {
$HBAFound = $false
Write-Host "Looking for $($hba.name) from host $($HBA.VMhost)"
Foreach ($entry in Get-CompatibleVSANController) {
$vid = [String]::Format("{0:x}", $HBA.VendorId)
$did = [String]::Format("{0:x}", $HBA.DeviceId)
$svid = [String]::Format("{0:x}", $HBA.SubVendorId)
$ssid = [String]::Format("{0:x}", $HBA.SubDeviceId)
If (($vid -eq $entry.vid) -and ($did -eq $entry.did) -and ($svid -eq $entry.svid) -and ($ssid -eq $entry.ssid) ) {
Write-Host " HBA in $($HBA.VMHost) is $($HBA.Name) which can be found in the HCL as $($Entry.vendor) - $($Entry.Model) at the following URL: `n $($entry.vcglink)" -ForegroundColor Green
$HBAFound = $true
}
}
If (-Not $HBAFound){
Write-Host " $($HBA.Name) in $($HBA.VMHost) is not found!" -ForegroundColor Red
}
}
If you run it the output will look like this:
