Facing issue while adding modules

[xavy7866]

I upgraded the PowerShell 3.0 from 2.0 and installed PowerShell CLI from here: https://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/automationtools/powercli and following this url: http://windowsitpro.com/virtualization/vmware-vsphere-powercli but unable to add the modules, please find the below screen shot.

After adding modules I can only connect with vSphere and run the script like : > Connect-VIServer –Server IP

I tried even to resolve the issue: https://blogs.vmware.com/PowerCLI/2015/03/powercli-6-0-introducing-powercli-modules.html

Can some one please suggest asap.

As of PowerCLI 6.5R1 there are no PSSnapin anymore, only modules.

Which PowerCLI version are you running?

Do a Get-PowerCLIVersion

To load all modules you can do

Get-Module -Name VMware* -ListAvailable | Import-Module

You will now be able to use all PowerCLI cmdlets.

Thanks it worked but I want to connect my vSphere Client so that i can do automation.

PowerCLI C:\> Get-Module -Name VMware* -ListAvailable | Import-Module

PowerCLI C:\> Connect-VIServer -Server IP

Connect-VIServer : 3/22/2017 12:42:55 PM    Connect-VIServer        Could not

resolve the requested VC server.

Additional Information: There was no endpoint listening at

https://<IP>/sdk that could accept the message. This is often caused

by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for

more details.

It looks like the name of your vSphere server can not be resolved, or that the server can not be reached (if you used an IP address).

Can you connect with a Web Client to that IP?

[xavy7866]

Thanks a lot Now i am able to connect via PowerShell CLI to that IP.

Will connect you if any more help would be required.

Can you please ping me your mail id.

Can some one please share a script for Standard Clone Automation from vSphere Client in PowerShell or Python.

[LucD]

Do you mean cloning a VM to another VM?

That you can do as follows (note that you have to give the target ESXi node)

$esx = Get-VMHost | Select -First 1

New-VM -Name TestVMClone -VM TestVM -VMHost $esx

[xavy7866]

VMware vSphere 5.1

I was talking for this one.

[LucD]

You use the same New-VM cmdlet, for a clone from a template, you use the Template parameter.

Have a look at Example 10

[xavy7866]

Can you please help me to get the script as per mentioned under this url i.e for Creating VMWare from Template.
