Hello,
I am trying to build a script that will change the NIC settings on a VM from static to DHCP during the 'Post Power On' stage of the SRM recovery process.
A little research online suggests that i need to use the PowerCLI cmdlet Invoke-VMScript with $env:vmware_vm_name in order to call a second script and run in on the VM that SRM is recovering at that moment. I have put together the following 'Invoke' script after some trial and error:
Connect-VIServer servername.domain.com
Invoke-VMScript -VM $env:vmware_vm_name -ScriptType PowerShell -ScriptText c:\scripts\setdynamic.ps1 -HostUser root -HostPassword password -GuestUser administrator -GuestPassword password
When i run the script as part of the recovery plan i recieve the following in the SRM logs:
[#2] Name Port User
[#2] ---- ---- ----
[#2] drvspheresvr1.tta.gov.uk 443 TTA\SRMservice
[#2] WARNING: The version of VMware Tools on VM 'SRM-test' is out of date and may
[#2] cause Invoke-VMScript to work improperly.
[#2] The term 'c:\scripts\setdynamic.ps1' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet,

[#2] returnValue = 0,
I have tried a few different things to get the script to succefully call the second PS script, but to no avail. As i am new to PowerShell and SRM in general i feel i must be missing something obvious!
Can anyone point out what i might be doing wrong?
