Do you have vMA VM or PowerCLI installed ?

[techirag]

Actually I'm new to scripting..

I have installed RCLI.. through RCLI is it possible? I have used the RCLI script which was working but now it is not working..

If it is possible in powershell I will install but I have ZERO knowledge on this.. I'm very interested in scripting I need to autoamate so many things in my Infrastrucure..

Tell me through we can implement this?

1.Nics status

2. HBA status

3. Performance report fecting from all ESX hosts

You can take a look at this report which captures quite a bit information about your VMware environment including some of the things you're looking for: . Performance stats aren't as detail as the data required may vary, though all of this is scriptable using any of the available vSphere SDK's that are available.

I would suggest that if you're new to the VMware API/SDK's that you spend a good amount of time going over this document: Depending on what you're familiar with and the platform of choice, that'll dictate the language in which you choose to write your scripts in.

There are also a lot of scripts already written to variety of tasks using various toolkits: vSphere SDK for Perl, PowerCLI, VI Java,etc. You may want to check out Developer Forum and Code Sample Repo
