I got the above code from Lucd, As this post is regarding continuation of this script.
Now I have a different requirement.
I am provisioning new VM by executing the command "c:\provision\new-vm.ps1 -hostname vm1 -template customername"
As this script does lot of customization at OS level as per Customer requirement specified in the template parameter.
we have dependency that 1st 2 VMs OS customization has to be successful, Post only we have to create additional 10-20 VMs for same customer by passing the VM Name & Template.
Is there any possibility of automating the additional 10-20 servers by altering the above code.
As passing additional VM Name & template is taking more time as we have to look into current clones I the same vCenter and then initiate it.
I have tried like below, but I am not getting output as the above code.
$MaxClones = 3
$CSV = "C:\users\$env:username\desktop\file1.csv"
$nvm = Import-CSV $CSV -Useculture
$idTab = @()
$nvm |
%{
$idTab += c:\provision\Provision.ps1 -Hostname $($_.name) -AutomationTemplate $($_.template) -| Select -ExpandProperty Id
$CurrentClones = Get-Task -Status Running |
where {$idTab -contains $_.Id} |
Measure-Object | Select -ExpandProperty Count
Write-Output "$($_.Name) is deploying"
Write-Output "In loop: Current: $($CurrentClones) Max: $($MaxClones)"
while($CurrentClones -ge $MaxClones)
{
sleep 30
Write-Output "$($_.Name) is deploying"
Write-Output "In loop: Current: $($CurrentClones) Max: $($MaxClones)"
if($currentclones -eq $maxclones){
$CurrentClones = Get-Task -Status Running |
where {$idTab -contains $_.Id} |
Measure-Object | Select -ExpandProperty Count
}
} }
In CSV file I have 2 columns 1 with VM name & another with Template name.
Please do let me know if any additional details are required.
Note: I can't share Provision.ps1 as it is having lot of entries related to organization
