Change Agent VM Settings using powercli

[DieterA]

For a deployment using NSX we are using the Agent VM settings on our ESXi host. I tried to find how to set these values via powercli, but I can't find them anywhere.

Could someone show me where I can change the Agent VM settings on the host via powercli?

Which Agent VM Settings do you mean?

Could you perhaps include a screenshot?

This is a setting where you can specify a datastore and network that the installation of vm agents can use to put there appliances on.

Try like this

$esxName = 'MyEsx'

$dsName = 'ds1'

$netName = 'netpg'

$esx = Get-VMHost -Name $esxName

$agMgr = Get-View -Id $esx.ExtensionData.ConfigManager.EsxAgentHostManager

$agent = New-Object VMware.Vim.HostEsxAgentHostManagerConfigInfo

$agent.AgentVmDatastore = (Get-Datastore -Name $dsName).ExtensionData.MoRef

$agent.AgentVmNetwork = $esx.ExtensionData.Network | where{(Get-View -Id $_).Name -eq $netName}

$agMgr.EsxAgentHostManagerUpdateConfig($agent)

This worked like a charm. Thanks!
