Sometimes I have to perform work on a list of host that are part of Virtual Center. But are aren't organized by clusters or folders or any cmdlet that I can call them by.
So at times I run scripts based on user generated host list below is an example piece of code of how I do work against the host list.
$list = Get-Content "C:\Program Files\PowerGUI\goodhost1.txt"
ForEach ($server in $list) {( $luns = Get-ScsiLun -Server $vcs -VmHost $server
Sometimes these host list can come from a database. Sometimes the database has the hostname misspelled. So before doing any work on the host I would ping them and generate a list of ping able host and non ping able host. Usually the ones that weren't ping able had typo's in the hostname, and I would easily correct those and put them into a master host list.
So for the most part my script runs when I have a master host list . But when the host is not connected in Virtual Center my script breaks. Then I have to go and modify my master host list and take it out the host's the script already ran on including the one that wasn't connected and rerun the script. Kind of a pain.
So what am looking for is a code example or an idea on how to check if my host list against virtual center to see if its already connected.
When working with cmdlets I use something like this
get-vmhost | where { $_.State -eq "Connected" }
Could I do something similar ? With my own list.
Thanks
