There is an updated version of this function available in the PowerCLI Reference Book.
Code is available for download.

An update
To get it to work against a Win2008 64 Bit, just replace the line
$Out = Invoke-VMScript “wmic path win32_diskdrive get Index, SCSIPort, SCSITargetId /format:csv” -vm $VM -HostCredential $HostCred -GuestCredential $GuestCred -scripttype “bat”

with (Removing “path win32_”)

$Out = Invoke-VMScript “wmic diskdrive get Index, SCSIPort, SCSITargetId /format:csv” -vm $VM -HostCredential $HostCred -GuestCredential $GuestCred -scripttype “bat”

Hi,
Great script if you are using 32 bit OS.
It’s doesn’t work with ex. Win2008R2

Yes, this is a very2 good script and the most useful that I have ever found in the internet, however how can we know which Windows Disk/partitions it relates to ?

The WindowsDisk column is confusing me

This algorithm works with vmx-04 but with the addition of the newer controllers in vmx-07 (LSI Logic SAS and Paravirtual) the offset to SCSIPort is no longer fixed at one, but can be anywhere from 0 to 3 from what I have seen. Has anyone encountered this, and if so, found a solution?
