I wanted to see how the memory limits are configured in my VI3 environment. You can do this via the VIC, but you can also do it via a PowerCLI script and export it to a csv file.
Copy the script and run it. The script will ask you to enter the vCenter server and a path to save the csv file (like c:\temp\memlimits.csv).
$vCenter = Read-Host "Enter vCenter Server" $csvFile = Read-Host "Enter csv file" Connect-VIServer $vCenter Get-VM | sort name | % { $vm = $_ | Get-View ; $vm | select ` @{ Name = "VM Name"; Expression ={ $vm.Name }},` @{ Name = "Memory in MB"; Expression ={ $vm.Config.Hardware.MemoryMB }},` @{ Name = "Memory Limits in MB"; Expression ={ $vm.Config.MemoryAllocation.Limit }}` } | Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation $csvFile Invoke-Item $csvFile Disconnect-VIServer -Confirm:$false
The output will look like this:
You could add a check for a \’-1\’ which would be unlimited, looks nicer in the output:

Thanks! Great job!
