Hi Gurus,

I have to query all of our vm's virtual disk properties from SCVMM. Everything working properly with normal virtual disks via Get-SCVirtualDiskDrive and Get-SCVirtualHardDisk cmdlets, however I cannot find details for pass-through disk, because there is no VirtualHarDiskID property of that type of object.
I'm pretty sure those has to be in database, because I can find on console under VM hardware properties....

We manage both HyperV and VMWare host by SCVMM.

Would you please give me some light?

Thanks,

Laszlo

    ... and I got it:

    Get-SCStorageDisk -VMHost my_host | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq "my_passthroughdisk"}

    and this object has Capacity and Location property

    ... my_passthroughdisk coming from (Get-SCVirtualDiskDrive).PassThroughDisk

    Does this work? 

    Get-VM -ComputerName <ClusterNode> | Get-VMHardDiskDrive | Where Path -like "Disk*"
