  • 1.  Powercli on Vcenter?

    Posted Nov 15, 2013 04:07 PM

    Hi,

    i just start with powercli and i want to automate the execution of some scripts. I just want to know (sorry if someone somewhere asked this before) if it's a good way to execute my powercli scripts on the vcenter server (2008 R2)?

    I think it's easy to schedule because the server is always up.

    So what do you think about that?

    Is it a bad idea for some reason?

    Than you :smileyhappy:

    That will work, but there are some risks you should be aware of.

    • is it a good idea to install additional SW on your vCenter server ?
    • a bad script might monopolise the CPU or the memory on the vCenter machine

    1/ I'm agree with you. But i wonder if it's a good idea to build one server just for that.

    2/I test my scripts on a vcenter dedicated to avoid this. But you are right.

    Thank you
