Get SUM of VCPU from vms array

[IKirill]

Hi!

How i can get sum of VCPU of vms from array?

Whats wrong in my script?

$newvms = @(
"myvm01",
"myvm02"
)
Foreach ($newvm in $newvms) {
$report = Get-VM | ? name -Like $newvms*
}
$report | Measure-Object numcpu -Sum

You are overwriting $report each time.

Since Get-VM accepts an array on the Name parameter, you can do

$newvms = @(

"myvm01",

"myvm02"

)

Get-VM -Name $newvms |

Measure-Object -Property NumCpu -Sum

Thx LUCD!

But what about if i wont to use:

-Like $newvms* 

?

[LucD · Accepted solution]

You could do

Get-VM  | where{$_.Name -like "myvm*"}

or

Get-VM | where {$newvms -contains $_.Name}
