Yes, but you will ultimately need at least 1 machine from where you can connect to the Internet.

On that machine you can do a Save-Module, an use these files then to install on other stations.

See section Offline Install of PowerCLI to a Computer Without an Internet Connection  in Welcome PowerCLI to the PowerShell Gallery – Install Process Updates

Thank you so much LucD for your timely help

[AkilaHarinaraya]

could you please let me know what is the difference between the port group and vlan ids.

if we are moving vms from one host to another how it identifies the port group which relies on the another host?

[LucD]

The VLANId is a property of a portgroup.
When moving VMs you should make sure that the VLANId of the new portgroup corresponds.

[AkilaHarinaraya]

Thanks much LucD

If the Destination host is not having the same port-group what will happen to the v motion process? will get failed or will it take any available port-group on the destination host?

[LucD]

You will have to provide one or more portgroups on the Portgroup parameter of the Move-VM cmdlet.
