script to addup volume used and available size

sakalava — Thu, 19 Oct 2023 21:43:35 GMT

Hello All,

I am attempting to create a script which will add up the total available and used size of all volume

here is my script

$vols = Get-NcVol
$voltotal = $vols | Measure-Object -Property TotalSize -Sum
$voltotalsize = ConvertTo-FormattedNumber $voltotal.sum DataSize -Verbose
$volused = $vols | Measure-Object -Property Used -Sum
$volusedsize = ConvertTo-FormattedNumber $volused.sum DataSize -Verbose

It is giving me wrong numbers I think this is because the get-ncvol give volume size in Gb,Tb and Mb so we basically can not add apple to orange

Has anyone everdone that ? can you give me an exemple ?

Perhaps convert everything to bytes first then total and convert back to whichever unit you want?

function Convert-UnitsToBytes { [cmdletbinding()] param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $True)] [uint64]$Size, [Parameter(Mandatory = $True)] [ValidateSet('MB', 'GB', 'TB')]$Unit ) # Converts BYTES to a specified UNIT (MB|GB|TB) # - Any other Unit will return the original value passed in $Unit = $Unit.ToUpper() switch ($Unit) { 'MB' { $bytes = $size * 1MB } 'GB' { $bytes = $size * 1GB } 'TB' { $bytes = $size * 1TB } Default { $bytes = $size } } return $bytes }

thanks a lot

I think I found an alternative

Get-NcVol | ForEach-Object {
$x = "" | Select Name,Total_TB,Available_TB
$x.Name = $_.Name
$x.Total_TB = [Math]::Round($_.TotalSize / 1TB, 2)
$x.Available_TB = [Math]::Round($_.Available / 1TB, 2)
$x | Format-Table -AutoSize | Out-String | ForEach-Object { $_.Trim("`r","`n") }
