Powered off VM stats

The only way to get those is if the VM is powered on.  What you can get is the total allocated storage, regardless of powerstate based on the VMDK file layouts.  To do this, you need to sum up all of the disks (if the VM has any) and then divide to get you the units you want.  This little code snippit I use in a lot of places for the exact reason.

I use vm as a variable in a function that used the type VMWVirtualMachine or you can run this in script editor from a VMWVirtualMachine and pass something like vm = scope based on a VM you selected

//begin code

result = 0

// Disk Calculation

                              list = vm.get("vmdkFileLayouts")

                              if(list.size() == 0)

                                        {

                                                  totalDisk = 0

                                        }

                              else

                                        {

                                        disk = list.diskSize.sum()

                                        removeDisk = list[0].diskSize

                                        totalDisk = disk / 1024 / 1024 / 1024 // Convert to GB

                                        }

 

                    // Add data to result

                              result = totalDisk

 

return result
