Get Similar Virtual Machines in Hyper-V Clusters via PowerShell
Posted in Virtual Machine Manager, Windows Powershell | No Comment | 2,241 views | 21/02/2014 10:49

Following script could be used to find similar virtual machines in same Cluster or Hyper-V Host.
This is very useful to split virtual machines if they have same workloads.

For example if you have two virtual machines with same workload like:

IISServer01
IISServer02

This script will find them and list them with a useful output. You should use it on SCVMM 2012 R2 Console:

You can define Cluster and Hyper-V Host in function to minimize scope.

For Hyper-V Host Specific Search:

Get-SimilarVM -VMHostName "VMHOST01"

For Cluster Specific Search:

Get-SimilarVM -ClusterName "VMHOSTCluster01"

Searching in all clusters:

Get-SimilarVM

You can customize output to see what you need.
