ESXi5.1 stops sync with the Dell Open manage essential...looking for script to restart WSMAN service

[govind80]

My ESXi5.1 hosts configured to the Dell Open Manage Essential stops discovering to update the Health status .

So every time i need to restart the WSMAN services login SSH to the ESXi host and restart the WSMAN service (/etc/init.d/wsman restart)

Can someone please to create a script to restart the WSMAN service through PowerCLI.

We had this question before, see Restart wsman service via PowerCLI?

Unfortunately there hasn't been any change since then.

So I'm afraid running the required commands through a plink.exe session is the only option for now.

If you are going to use Plink.exe to ssh in esxi server below script is handy. You will need to download plink.exe tool and keep under c:\windows.

you will need to create a file "C:\scripts\Command.txt" and save it with command  --  /etc/init.d/wsman restart

$cred = Get-Credential -Message "Vcenter or esxi username and password"  
 Connect-Viserver vcenterserver -Credential $cred  
 Add-PSSnapin vmware.vimautomation.core  
 $command = "C:\scripts\Command.txt"  
 $esxiHosts = Get-VMHost  
 $root = "root"  
 $Passwd = "Newpassword"  
 foreach ($esxiHost in $esxiHosts) {  
  $SSHservice = $esxiHost | Get-VMHostService | where {$psitem.key -eq "tsm-ssh"}  
  if ($SSHservice.Running -eq $False) {  
  $esxiHost | Get-VMHostService | where {$psitem.key -eq "tsm-ssh"} | Start-VMHostService  
  }  
  Write-Output "yes" | plink.exe -ssh root@$esxihost -P 22 -pw $passwd -m $command  
  $esxiHost | Get-VMHostService | where {$psitem.key -eq "tsm-ssh"} | Stop-VMHostService -Confirm:$false  
 }
