      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thank you for reading my blogpost! This script is easily adjustable so that you can use it on a single host instead of the cluster. And like others have said, it will only edit RDM's, no VMFS datastores.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It seems you have figured it out, but if you still need assistance to adjust the script just let me know!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

Really your support appreciated. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It Works and has one small error due to additional parentheses { at the end of the script.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style="margin: 2px; font-family: proxima-nova, Arial, sans-serif; color: #666666;"&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;regards&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Narayanan&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi there,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;IHAC who has added a new ESXi host to the cluster, without any VM's running on the host. They would like to set&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;RDMs to perennially reserved&lt;/SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;on that specific host. Please correct me if the below script would work in case Get-VM details are not called in the below script.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;$esxName&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;=&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;'&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;MyEsx&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;'&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;$esx&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;=&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Get-VMHost&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;-&lt;/SPAN&gt;Name&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;$esxName&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;$rdms&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;=&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;$esx&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;|&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Get-HardDisk&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;-&lt;/SPAN&gt;DiskType&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;"&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;RawPhysical&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;"&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;,&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;"&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;RawVirtual&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;"&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;|&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;Select&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;-&lt;/SPAN&gt;Unique ScsiCanonicalName&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;$esxcli&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;=&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Get-EsxCli&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;-&lt;/SPAN&gt;VMHost&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;$esx&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;-&lt;/SPAN&gt;V2&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;foreach&lt;/SPAN&gt;(&lt;SPAN&gt;$rdm&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;in&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;$rdms&lt;/SPAN&gt;){&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;$naaid&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;=&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;$rdm&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;.ScsiCanonicalName&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;$esxcli&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;.storage.core.device.setconfig&lt;/SPAN&gt;(&lt;SPAN&gt;@&lt;/SPAN&gt;{&lt;SPAN&gt;device&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;=&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;$naaid&lt;/SPAN&gt;;&lt;SPAN&gt;perenniallyreserved&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;=&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;$true&lt;/SPAN&gt;})&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; }&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;}&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;</description>
