Problem

I have an MAC address which apparently belongs to a VM in my cluster, how do I figure out which VM owns this MAC address?

Solution

PowerCLI:

> Connect-VIServer myserver
> Get-VM | Get-NetworkAdapter | Where <_.MacAddress -eq "00:50:56:12:34:56"> | Select-Object Parent,Name,MacAddress

This is a collection of techical information, much of it learned the hard way. Consider it a lab book or a /info directory. I doubt much of it will be of use to anyone else.
