Hello,
sorry to bother, my powershell is too bad.
we balanced our Veeam Backups with tags, now we want to automatically assign tags to new vm's. one part here would be to find out the sum of the disksizes of all vm's with the same tag.
Some examples what i have, but would not be suitable for a comparison for adding up. i dont know where to continue:
PowerCLI C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI> get-vm | where {({(Get-TagAssignment -Entity $_ )} | select @{N="Tag";E={((Get-TagAssignment -Entity $_ | select -ExpandProperty Tag).Name -join ",")}}) -eq ({get-tag -category 'Veeam Jobs' -Name VeeamJob4 | select @{N="Tag";E="Name"}})}
first part of the comparison would spit out this:
get-vm | Where{(Get-TagAssignment -Entity $_ )} | select @{N="Tag";E={((Get-TagAssignment -Entity $_ | select -ExpandProperty Tag).Name -join ",")}}
Tag
---
VeeamJob2
VeeamJob2
second part this:
get-tag -category 'Veeam Jobs' -Name VeeamJob2 | select @{N="Tag";E="Name"}
Tag
---
VeeamJob2
why cant i compare these with match or equals ?
I guess there are far better methods of getting what i want ? Maybe one can help.
I would enclose this comparison with the function [math]::Round((( .UsedSpaceGB | measure-Object -Sum).Sum)
So i hoped to get the Disksize sums of all vm's with the particular tag.
After that, i would define somewhere which tags are for linux and which for windows vm's, get that value and assign a tag where no is assigned . pretty hard for me noob :smileysilly:
