Find Datastore Id/Uuid/MoRef in vCenter

Was it you searched to which Datastore the error is connected?
Maybe you couldn't create a VM because of lacking free space on a Datastore, and the system got you only some Id or Moref (if you are using vCloud Director) instead of a normal Datastore name. 

If you hated these moments, so do I.
Because of that I have made some script that can give us additional info and bound Datastore names to their Id/Moref, etc.

Here it is.

===BEGINNING===

cls

Write-Host "=Datastores IDs=" -BackgroundColor DarkRed -ForegroundColor Yellow

$host.UI.RawUI.WindowTitle = "=Datastores IDs="

Get-Date -Format "dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm"

Write-Host

Write-Host "Defining Configuration:" -BackgroundColor Green -ForegroundColor Blue

$ErrorActionPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'

$WarningActionPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'

$ErrorPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'

$WarningPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'

Import-Module VMware.PowerCLI | Out-Null

Set-PowerCLIConfiguration -InvalidCertificateAction Ignore -confirm:$false | Out-Null

#$vCenter = "vCenter" ## Change as you need

$outputfile = "D:\Datastores_Uuid.csv"

$DStores = Get-Datastore | select * | Where-Object { $_.Name -like "Datastore_*" }

$TableArray = @()

foreach($DS in $DStores)

    {

    $DSName = $DS.Name

    $DSUuid = $DS.ExtensionData.Info.Vmfs.Uuid

    $DSId = $DS.Id

    $DSMoRef =- $DS.ExtensionData.MoRef

    $OneLineArray = New-Object "PSCustomObject"

    $OneLineArray | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Datastore" -Value $DSName

    $OneLineArray | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Datastore Uuid" -Value $DSUuid

    $OneLineArray | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Datastore Id" -Value $DSId

    $OneLineArray | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Datastore MoRef" -Value $DSMoRef

    $TableArray += $OneLineArray

    }

$TableArray | OGV -Title "=Datastores IDs="

$TableArray | Export-Csv -path $outputfile -NoTypeInformation

ii $outputfile

 ===FINISH===

This the end result:
