VMware: Extracting info from VMX files

In order to get some information on the exact names of VMs and the VMDK files they have mapped, I created a dump of all .VMX files on the SAN and used the following sed script to extract some relevant data:

s/#!.*/Configuration:/p
s/displayName/  &/p
s/scsi.:.\.fileName/  &/p
s/sched.swap.derivedName/  &/p

The script can be run using the following command:

$  sed -n -f "sed_script" "config-list"

The result is:

Configuration:
  displayName = "Service Desk 5.2"
  scsi0:0.fileName = "Service Desk 5.2.vmdk"
  sched.swap.derivedName = "/vmfs/volumes/46363464-80...

If you want, it can even be formatted in other ways:

s/displayName = \"\(.*\)\"/\n\1\n/p
s/scsi.:.\.fileName = \"\(.*\)\"/  \1/p
s/sched.swap.derivedName = \"\(.*\)\"/  \1/p

Resulting in:

Service Desk 5.2
  Service Desk 5.2.vmdk
  /vmfs/volumes/46363464-80...
