PSODs suck. We know that. We've been getting the occasional PSOD after going to 5.5 U2, and when a prod host crashes the first thing everyone wants to know is: Which VMs were affected?
I put together a one-liner to get this information based on the event that is recorded on the VM when HA restarts it on another host.
Breakdown:
get-vmhost : get the vm host object of the host that went down with a PSOD
get-cluster : gets the cluster that host was in
get-vm : gets all the VMs in that cluster
Get-VIEvent -Start (Get-Date).AddHours(-24) -types warning : gets all the events of type 'warning' within the past 24 hours (adjust the # according to how long ago the PSOD was.
where-object {$_.fullformattedmessage -match "restarted"}: filters the events for those that match 'restarted'.
I'm working on turning this into an actual function that would save some typing.
