We had a need to obtain a list of VMs to Hosts due updating from 4.1 u1 to 4.1 u2 - the VC would be done for a projected couple of hours so just in case we needed to access a VM console we needed this list.
How we got this information was by doing the following:
1. Go to Home > Inventory > VMs and Templates.
2. In the left pane click on the level of reporting you want - in this case it was at the Datacenter level.
3. In the right hand pane choose the Virtual Machines tab.
4. Then click on File > Export > Export List.
5. I choose the xls format and then save it somewhere (in this case a shared location).
You can use other tools for this - one of my favourites is RVTools written by Rob de Veij and can be found at http://www.robware.net/
