Displaying Network Label Assignments for a Virtual Machine
You can use the Get-DesktopVM cmdlet to display network label assignments for a virtual machine. The
netLabelAutoAssigns output parameter shows the NIC names and network labels that View attempted to
assign to the virtual machine. You do not have to add a parameter in the command line to display this
information.
If the enabled flag in the network label configuration file was set to 0, the netLabelAutoAssigns output
shows this feature is disabled.
The netLabelAutoAssigns output displays the network label assignments that View Connection Server
reserves for the virtual machine. To see the network labels that are assigned to the virtual machine in
vCenter Server, use the -getNetworkLabel parameter with the Get-DesktopVM cmdlet. For more information,
see “Displaying vCenter Server Network Label Assignments for a Virtual Machine,” on page 57.
The following Get-DesktopVM cmdlet example displays network label assignments for the virtual machine
918 in the pool pool2.
> get-desktopvm -pool_id pool2

Displaying vCenter Server Network Label Assignments for a Virtual Machine
vCenter Server can make additional network label assignments to virtual machines. These assignments are
outside the control of View.
To see the network labels that are assigned to a virtual machine in vCenter Server, use the -getNetworkLabel
parameter with the Get-DesktopVM cmdlet. You must type a Boolean value of $true in the command line to
enable the -getNetworkLabel parameter. The output of the Get-DesktopVM cmdlet displays the networkLabels
parameter, which shows the NICs and network label assignments that were made for the virtual machine.
The following Get-DesktopVM cmdlet example displays network label assignments made in vCenter Server
for the virtual machine 1849 in the pool pool2.
> get-desktopvm -pool_id pool2 -getnetworklabel $true
...
vm : 1849
ps_object_type : vc_vm
