PowerCli - Find VM in Multiple vCenter

[Bunty11]

How to find a VM in multiple vCenter using powercli.

I tried :

$vCenters = @("xx""xx")

ForEach-Object ($vCenter -in $vCenters)

{

$Connect = Connect-VIServer $vCenter -User xxxxx -Password xxxxx

}

Did you check that the DefaultVIServerMode is set to Multiple?

And with $global:defaultviservers you can check to which vCenters you are connected.

$vCenters = 'vc1','vc2'

Set-PowerCLIConfiguration -DefaultVIServerMode Multiple -Confirm:$false

Connect-VIServer -Server $vCenters -User xxxxx -Password xxxxx

$global:DefaultVIServers

ForEach-Object ($vCenter -in $vCenters)

Get-VM -Name $VmName -Server $vCenters

No, if you set the mode to Multiple, it will automatically search in all connected vCenters.
