PowerCli List HBA WWN’s

Whenever you get storage masked to your esxi node/cluster you always going to need to know what HBA WWN addresses are (assuming your using HBA not iSCSI etc) here is a quick powercli hba statement you can use to refresh your memory

 

For a cluster the following:

1
Get-Cluster clustername | Get-VMhost | Get-VMHostHBA -Type FibreChannel | Select VMHost,Device,@{N="WWN";E={"{0:X}" -f $_.PortWorldWideName}} | Sort VMhost,Device

 

And if you want to do a single host:

1
Get-VMhost -Name hostname| Get-VMHostHBA -Type FibreChannel | Select VMHost,Device,@{N="WWN";E={"{0:X}" -f $_.PortWorldWideName}} | Sort VMhost,Device

 

 

Studing For VCP6-NV (2V0-642) (UPDATE – I Passed ?)

Quick update i took the exam on Friday morning and happy to say passed with a score of 433 (300 is the pass mark).

Personally i think it was a tricky exam but not as difficult as i anticipated it to be, i used the references ive already mentioned before and bolstered it up with 2 pluralsight courses i got access to on a 6 month trial basis.

I’m not going to go into the question i was given but i would say if you follow the links ive provided and the VMware blueprint  you should be ok.
