Export List of VM's, with their Storage Location

[Nefariousparity]

Hello, this command works great from CLI, as do many others. But what I am trying to do is get a export that actually shows where the boot disk is. Example on mount NFS or local storage. I have omitted some details here. But it would be amazing if I could export a list. And next to the VM it would say,

You are going to have to write something that fits your environment to produce the result that you want. The challenges are:
- any disk can be boot disk not just disk-0
- there could be multiple boot disks
- the only way for PVE API to determine boot disk is from available configuration. While there is a "boot:" option (man qm) - its not required.
- boot: can be a list several devices (man qm), not all of the devices could be present.

json output and jq processing can be very powerful to create almost any output you want given the data available.
Good luck.

Yeah I was trying to create a quick list, so I can get a bearing of my memory upgrades across a few hosts tonight. I guess I will just power down and move what I can based on visual inspection. Thank you!

In case you were not aware you could just get a list of all volumes on specific storage, which might help with correlation:

pvesm list blockbridge
Volid                          Format  Type            Size VMID
blockbridge:vm-100-cloudinit   raw     images       4194304 100
blockbridge:vm-100-disk-0      raw     images     117440512 100
blockbridge:vm-100-disk-1      raw     images     117440512 100
blockbridge:vm-100-state-snap1 raw     images    1598029824 100
blockbridge:vm-2000-cloudinit  raw     images       4194304 2000
blockbridge:vm-2000-disk-0     raw     images     117440512 2000
